Guy'll be married before he gets an engineers card.
Then he'll be lookin for a train for other reasons...Maybe even metaphorical ones...A bus or something...L.o.l.

Lol!

Like literally, for my 18th birthday, the only thing I want is to be registered to vote. This year I'll be working on getting my license, and when that's done, Apply for the first Norfolk Southern conductor training program I see, and going, going gone. The only drawback is, I'll rarely detect, arrowhead hunt, knap, chat online or anything because the conductor schedule is wacked. However, if I put it in the bank, I'll be "well off" when I get to retiring age. $100,00+- a year living single would be total happiness for me.

Marriage would be hell on earth for me. I can't do the railroad, with a wife at home, and kids. I'd have to take care of her, do what she wants (oh **** no) and don't get me started on kids! I've lived a rough childhood, with my parents having a rough marriage. scarred I s'pose. Nope. Can't do it.




You gotta be kidding me.

[It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville and a line on a three mile grade
It's on that grade that he lost his airbrakes you see what a jump he made
They were goin' down the grade makin' 90 miles an hour
When his whistle broke into a scream
He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle
A scalded to death by the steam
[ fiddle ]
Then the telegram come to Washington city and this is how it read
The brave engineer that run old 97 he's a laying in old Danville dead
Now all you ladies we take a warning from this time now and learn
Never speak harsh words to your true loving husband
who may leave you and never return]

The subject of 99% of all Blues songs.
E-A-G-E Been workin' the signals
E-A-G-E Fo' the Norfolk Southern train
A But my women fills my coconut brain
E Yes it does
B Come home to see her
A But she's visiting some other man
E-A-E-A-B Play them Blues

That's the job for me!

My dad was a firefighter for 28 years, so we know how it feels when someone goes off to work on a dangerous job.
