Mike Reid
Shadows come creepin' down the alleys,
Lonesome lines the boulevard
Neon flickers to the rhythm of the night,
But this evenin', sleep is coming hard
Down the concrete hallways in this part of town
You can hear the young hearts drowning in thirst for life
The back streets full of mystery, people
Frozen in their dreams
Too little mercy, too little love,
Too much night, it's too much tonight
Chorus:
The eastern avenue runs level with the river
In between lies the freight yard of boxcar blues
Eastern avenue railway, come on, come on and deliver
This load of tears and this pair of walking shoes
Boy's got the eastern avenue river railway blues
Trapped between him and the city,
He packed a bag and took one south bound over the line
Trapped between him and the pity, he suffers for those unfaithful times
Well, eastbound river railway runs swift and hard
He swears tonight he's gonna take that ride
Jerk a cold steel freight train right down the boulevard
He ain't gonna stop 'til all the loneliness collides
'Cause it's too much tonight
Chorus (2x)
Jerry Jeff Walker, born Ronald Clyde Crosby, was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist who achieved great success in the 1970s. Also known as Gypsy Songman, he made a significant impact on the country, country rock, folk rock, and rock and roll music scenes. His music, often characterized by ironic lyrics and stories of lived experience, won over a large and loyal audience. Among his most famous songs are "Mr. Bojangles", a ballad that tells the story of a street dancer, and "Desperados Waiting for a Train", a song that became a classic of the outlaw country genre. Walker was also an important collaborator with other artists such as Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, contributing to defining the outlaw country musical style. His influence on American music is still evident today.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
