Don't rush your way through life - make the journey the destination and smell the roses! Take the slow train, be spontaneous and learn to live

TAKE THE SLOW TRAIN

I was raised on the island
Deep rivers, tall trees
Where mountains hold secrets
And salt rides the breeze

Well, it's a rugged place
Lush green and hard stone
But it's the people I knew
Who made it my home

I'm a Kodiak kid
No matter how far I roam
The house on North Blvd
Will always be home

I see Mrs. Mosley
With hot cocoa so warm
Pulling me inside
From the cold of the storm

George in his truck
Keeping dust from the road
And Mr. Springfield
Sharing his stories of gold

Mr. Ardinger put that first guitar in my hand
The Blair's house full of love would always expand
My father worked the post office directing the mail
Mother tried to stop us kids from raising hell

I'm a Kodiak Kid
No matter how far I roam
The house on North Blvd
Will always be home

I've walked the streets of Rome
Where the stone remembers
Stood in the Bowes Museum
With its Silver Swan splendor

I've seen the fields of gold
From a north London train
And the light-ning-ning above
The old Durango plains

But I'm a Kodiak kid
No matter how far I roam
The house on North Blvd
Will always be home

Kodiak Kid

For forty years I’ve been writing songs. This is an amalgamation of all things Scottish and my wanting to be a Cowboy when I was wee. I’ve never been on a horse but I suppose singing country music is as close as I’m going to get ! Hope you enjoy ?
