Kentucky Borderline

Kentucky here we come… We will cross that Kentucky Borderline and we will be one happy group of girls! You should hear us when we cross the borderline… we’re crazy. We will be leaving here in a few minutes and then we will be on the road to Kentucky I hear it’s about 5 hours.

Ok, You have to listen to this song. It’s one of my favorites….

She pulled out of Mobile
in the pouring rain,
Moving through the darkness
like a hurricane.
From southern New Port waters
to the Cumberland so green,
Louisville by Nashville
and all points in between.
Pounding out a rhythm
making up lost time,
Heading for that
bluegrass state of mine.

(Chorus)
White smoke a rollin’
Whistle a blowin’
Listening to her engine keeping time
Kentucky borderline.

Montgomery my morning
Birmingham by noon,
Onward through the timber
upward to the moon.
Her lonesome whistle cries
a low sighed refrain,
like the boys down on Mill street
singing of the pain.
No one is gonna stop her
from her appointed rounds,
This train is moving on
its glory bound.

(Chorus)

Her lungs are full of fire
breathing burning coal,
A raging locamotion
like thunder when it rolls.
Singing for the mighty
who cast her molten steel,
Drawed the spike and layed the rail
to ride beneath her wheels.
The pride of our nation
she’s a monument to them,
A southern bell
that mighty L&N

Next blog will be from KY. Love you all!!!

    Holly.
    What a great song! I’m sure you don’t know this, but I was born and raised in the South and spent most of my childhood and all my teen years in Montgomery, AL…I miss it so much. When Rob and I travel down there to visit my mom (and my home church) and hit the Alabama state line, I can hardly contain myself. My Southern accent kicks in, which causes great amazement to Rob! I can’t wait until later this month when we’ll be going back “home” for a final visit when my mom moves to FL to live with my sister!

    Keep singing for the Lord! We are praying for you all and miss you very much! Nancy
