Aerial East - Ryan Lyrics

Ryan moved to Amarillo
Abilene had nothing for him
He tried every college there
Until he fell down in despair

Where the train tracks separated
The north side from the south
We used to leave pennies there
When we were young, as souvenirs

Like one of our flattened pennies
He wanted to disappear
Abilene couldn't accept him
Too many there live in fear

He told me about the legend
The woman who flung herself
In front of a moving train
Now I can't remember her name

Makes me think of Dolly Parton
How she modeled her image
After all those other women
Who patroled the tracks in town

My friend Ryan is a poet
He creates worlds from his pain
I worry about him often
Whenever I'm on a train
