Story Behind The Song
We wrote this song when Erin was traveling. She would email us from all these exotic places and funny situations and fill us in on here adventures. She was hesitant to tell people who she really was so she put on this tough image.
Song Description
This is a song about my sister. She's a traveler who loves to reinvent herself. One summer she was traveling around, kind of going through the angst that teenagers feel. Often we would see her put up her guard - but we always could see her vulnerability.

Lyrics
Erin Takes the A-Train
Erin takes the A-train down
To her summer town
She stops off at the station for
A bag of gummy bears
Hmmm
Summer came and went just like
A dollar that?s been spent
She thumbs a passing car she tells
The driver she?s from main
I see you wise girl
I see you wise girl
Erin takes the A-Train down
To her summer town
She stops off at the station for
Whatever meets her there
I see you wise girl
I see you wise girl
I see you wise girl
