If you ever heard the whistle on a fast freight train
Beatin' out a beautiful tune
If you ever seen the cold blue railroad tracks
Shinin' by the light of the moon
If you ever felt a locomotive shake the ground
I know you don't have to be told
Why I'm going down to the railroad tracks
And watch them lonesome boxcars roll
--Joe Ely
"Ely had joined up Sunday afternoon with Gilmore, Hancock and Alvin for an opening-night show that's part of a five-day train trek through the Southwestern U.S., part of what organizers like to call North America's Moving Music Festival."
