about

A bus, car & train adventure across the United States during the time of their heated presidential election in 2016. Living with the spirit of Woody Guthrie. Walking the wet city streets with the homeless and the dispossessed. The poor, the immigrant and the first-nation, scraping to get by in gas stations and pop-up stores. On Amtrak with Amish families across Pennsylvania.....

lyrics

The city that I left behind
Won’t ever be the same
I got on board and now we ride
A strange and alien train.
Someone’s been foolin’ ‘round
With kerosene and matches
I guess I won’t be ‘round to see if there’s a
Phoenix in the ashes

I saw old Jimmy by the track
Waitin’ on a long-gone train
Said the old days they won’t come back
There’s no reason to remain.
He’s been walking all the way
From Coeur d’Alene to Natchez
I guess he won’t be ‘round to see if there’s a
Phoenix in the ashes

Mother’s by the highway
Bent down to the ground
Picking up beer cans to sell for scrap
At 45 cents a pound
She wouldn’t even let me know
Where her hidden stash is
I guess she won’t be ‘round to see if there’s a
Phoenix in the ashes

Cisco says he’s doing OK
Just thankful he’s survivin’
Selling candy, snacks and pumping gas
Slippin’ and a-slidin’
Tonight he’s through but in his rear-view
A red and blue light flashes
I guess he won’t be ‘round to see if there’s a
Phoenix in the ashes
