lyrics

Railroad Ties

Her railroad ties are from a past of horizontal lines
Memories that never sleep
Hard times to make ends meet
Telegraph lines and hotel suites
Brakemen and conductors while the trains were being staged
Eight days a week, with holiday rates
Roundhouse boys from the IC line
Bringing their Union Paychecks

She’ll get away, any way she can
Find a better looking glass to see herself in
Past will be the past, time can take its time
She’ll start all over and be fine
Once she leaves those railroad ties behind

Wedding cakes and gowns someone from another town
Pure, white and sugar sweet. Promises to love and keep
That isn’t how it turned out to be
One more sad rendition of the same old song and dance
Time for her to break free again
She’s working on another plan
And somewhere else to get away from her past
Echoing again

She’ll get away, any way she can
Find a better looking glass to see herself in
Past will be the past, time can take its time
She’ll start all over and be fine
Once she leaves those railroad ties behind

From her native Mississippi to her immersion in the scenes of Austin, New Orleans, North Carolina, and now Orlando – all their musical terroir is in her sound. You’ll recognize the hues if you really wanna parse it, but if you just listen, you’ll hear a sound that is quintessentially Southern, tapped from the roots and rolls like honey. ... more
