Day 24 Come Along and Ride This Train
This is really a unique part of our trip to the American Southwest. A train ride.

Let's continue to make music a part of our traveling. Johnny Cash, another famous American country music singer-songwriter and guitarist loved trains.
He's singing to us in this song: Come Along and Ride This Train. SO EASY to understand and a perfect song for us.
Johnny Cash "had a thing about trains", meaning he was fascinated by them and what they meant in America's history, and how they disappeared. (He also sang The City of New Orleans, which describes a train ride from Chicago to New Orleans on the Illinois Central Railroad's City of New Orleans (the name of the train) in bittersweet (doux-amer) and nostalgic terms. In fact, if you go to my 2015 Louisiana blog and listen to it, you will recognize it...thanks to Joe Dassin! http://uiadinlouisiana.blogspot.com/2015/04/33-d-29-streetcars-paddle-boats-mark.html
You can also go to YouTube to listen to Johnny Cash sing
"I've Got A Thing About Trains."
Enjoy.
My best,
Jane

I know a land where mountain streams are running free
I know a prairie where there's miles between each tree
I know where there's people you would like to get to know
Come along with me and go
