Janis DianeThomas - The Northeast Texas Trail

Farmersville, Merit, Celeste, the conductor cries
As the passengers wonder where they are and look outside
Wolfe City, Ladonia, Pecan Gap, and we're a blue dot
On a phone map
And they were riding on the rail where we walk upon the trail
They try to picture who we'll be, and it's them we try to see
Over a hundred years apart, no different in our hearts
We want to go somewhere, get somewhere, know somewhere, love somewhere.
Ben Franklin, Roxton, Paris, a train passes farm acres
Over rail banks and stone bridges built by manual labor
Reno, Blossom, Detroit, recreating, repurposing
And that's the point
And they were riding on the rail where we walk upon the trail
They try to picture who we'll be, and it's them we try to see
Over a hundred years apart, no different in our hearts
We want to go somewhere, get somewhere, know somewhere, love somewhere.
Clarksville, Annona, Avery, passengers carry trunks, carpet bags
Hopes, fears, feelings contrary
DeKalb, New Boston, we carry on a tale about this trail
That time is crossed on
And they were riding on the rail where we walk upon the trail
They try to picture who we'll be, and it's them we try to see
Over a hundred years apart, no different in our hearts
We want to go somewhere, get somewhere, know somewhere, love somewhere.
