Lyrics

Look out at the horizon where the railroad meets the sky
There's a freight train a coming down the Mason Dixon Line
The politician steps right out enticing you and me

She said she's heading to Easy Street
She said there's fame and fortune down on Easy Street

I watch the people boarding in such a hurried way
Why am I still grieving, Lord I pray

You know it's so tempting as I watch them leave
They said their heading to Easy Street
They said that they are heading down to Easy Street

Look out at the horizon where the railroad meets the sky
There's a freight train on fire about a mile down the track

Did they make it out alive or did they pay their fee
I wonder if they made it down to Easy Street
I wonder if they made it to Easy Street

I wonder if they made it down to Easy Street


nice opening sound. good lyric and vibe

The song has a Tom Petty, Roger McGuinn/The Birds and several other artists, that I can't recall off had, but extremely interesting and original! I think that the settings for the mics...the vocals & instruments, could be a tad clearer, but perhaps that's what the artist was going for.

I like the concept of an easy street and wish life was like your song, easy. But all and all not bad of a folksy type Bob Dillion Tom Petty type of style. Good stuff.

Balance was good,, vocals out front, simple uncluttered backup.
