Down at the train they go to Independence every day
But anywhere else now seems like a million miles away
And I must have been high to believe that i would ever leave
Now im just a flat fine line like the Wichita Skyline
I rode on the airstream across the great lonesome afternoon
I wished hard enough to hurt, drove fast enough to catch the moon
But i must have been dreamin' again 'cause there’s nothing around the bend
Except for that flat fine line, the Wichita skyline
As far as Salina I can get that good station from LaRue
I’m searching the dial while I’m Scanning the sky for a patch of blue
And I watch that black clouds roll in chasing me back again
Back to the Flat Fine Line, the Wichita skyline
Wichita Skyline (x2)
Love the tremolo baritone guitar (that goes down to low C, setting the stage) on the first few measures...then Shawn comes in...what a brilliant, gorgeous voice, with heaven, hell, and everything else in between mixed into the pipes. ALSO oneof my all-time favorite albums!!
