Down the Line

lyrics

DOWN THE LINE
Adam’s back on the farm I haven’t talked to him in years
He always looked so drunk when he was fighting back the tears
His brother’s banjo with a broken string on the porch with a mason jar
Waiting for Jimmy James in the back of the car
I know you heard all about how I behaved on that trip
Nobody talked on the ride back home I was mad but I bit my lip
You must have been in Oregon looking for Casey when she changed her name
We all went through a change or two but we come out just the same

Take me to the tracks and let’s burn one down
Talk about leaving this dead end town
Watch the fire burn as the stars all start to shine
Talk about the good times we’ll have further down the line

I’m living up north and I heard you moved down south
The weather here suits me but sometimes I have my doubts
I look down the road but I can’t see around the bend
So I’ll send this letter to you my dear old friend
