Thread Name: Origin: Wabash Cannonball - meaning
Subject: RE: Wabash Cannonball - meaning of lyrics
Utah recorded Wabash Cannonball and his own sequel on his new "Starlight on the rails" songbook. It's a collection of 60 of his songs.
...no round trip tickets you're on the final run,
this cannonball is never coming back,
Tomorrow she will be just another memory
An echo down a lonesome railroad track.

Anyone who doesn't have this 4 CD collection for a measly $40 is sadly lacking a great piece of work.
