ARTIST'S NOTES:
My friend and musical collaborator in Troy MT. had a delightful family. Her mother would often ask me "When are you coming back to Troy, America?" Connecticut, 2006.
lyrics
Well I've seen the whitewater fly
Running up - then down the Kootenai
I seen those trucks in the clear bright moonlight
having just crossed the great divide
Nothing like the sound of a White Freightliner
gearing down on the highline
right here in Troy America
There's nothing quite like the sound
Of a freight train whistle Seattle bound
The mountains sure carry the train bound for glory
As its leaving the Rockies behind
Nothing like the sound of a freight train smokin
bearing down on the highline
right here in Troy America
I was most certain I found
As I stopped to wander around
I never heard music
like the clear eerie singing
from the front porch at the far end of town
Nothin' like the sound of a front door slammin'
out in clear broad daylight
right here in Troy America
Nothin' like the sound of a White Freightliner
gearing down on the highline
right here in Troy ------- America
