A prime representative of what a Main Street Blues is and should be about. Very powerful lyrics indeed. So moving, and the music penetrates the heart. Your vocals are so real -- one knows you mean what you're singing!
My dad, Danville Dan the Singing Hobo, use to say, "A hobo travels to work, a tramp travels but doesn't work, and a bum doesn't travel and doesn't work." Anyway, enjoyed the thought-provoking lyrics and melody. Keep on keeping on!
Like anyone who happens to look, I see the signs of a failing economy all over the Country. This song is a effort to encourage folks to struggle for a more open and equitable system for the financial benefit of all of us.
Hadn't listen to this song in awhile, and yep, I still love it. Your one of my favorite Political Folk songwriters ever. Thanks for telling it like it is. Rock on!

Cry of Love
Cry of love, heard in the meadow
Watching the wind blow
With love in the air

You gotta love a song that holds the phrase: *"I got over lovin you, come out of it alive"* I really enjoyed this one Terry!
Another one of my favorite Terry "The Bear" Brown tunes -- it's so very real. Brings a tear to my eye. Love ya, man!

Ha ha! Rock on! "That train ain't the only thing you're on" -- what a line!
