I believe a mere comment is not sufficient for this song (or any of your songs). I could write a book on it, but don't worry I won't do it here. THE TRAIN is a testament to the artistry, depth, and amazing clarity of vision of the singer/songwriter (and so much more)--the awe-inspiring Mr. Gene Thomas. Gene, you observe life, death, human motivation, and the quest for truth in such layered detail, yet you do it with such literary finesse (this proves in your lyrics time and time again) that I believe many details may escape us at first listen. But that's okay, because we will be back again and again! All this delivered with a voice that simply carries the listener away. Listening to Gene sing... it's like floating down a meandering river on the perfect sunny day, just letting the river guide your course. I thank God for Gene Thomas and the legacy of incredible songs he gives to us. He has many more . All worth the waiting for. I love you, Gene. soulsthroughwindows T

A Treasure Indeed. My father used to tell us when he rode in boxcars in the 30's during the Great Depession how he learned to play harmonica, l've loved train songs ever since, the harmonica sure gives me that feel and your line about 6' down was really good, makes a body think 4 sure. tx again Gene 7* If l could.:) Stay Blessed What Style. Always Debra @OurSoundClick Stations aka ms 007 :):):)

Love the story in this song, superb songwriting! Love the authenticity in your music and style. You have a wonderful voice, especially for country. Very soulful, strong tone. This song deserves more than 5 stars for sure, but what can I do? ;) Terrific production, thanks for sharing your talent here with us on SC! :) ~strummergurl~
