The Rails

When you hear the whistle of a train blow,

It takes you back to a era long ago.

When the rails were the only way from town to town,

At each intersection the conductor would blare his signal down.

Jesse James achieved his fame,

From robbing some of those passenger trains.

 Next time you cross these bumpy tracks,

Let it take you back.

With a long look down these rails,

And remember some of these tall tales.
