Great job! "You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train" is one of my all time favorite lines.

[@jgdooley2003]

Since containerisation and relatively high speed freight the days of boxcars and hobos is over. I wonder how financially challenged people now get around? There is a fringe movement who jump on bulk wagons to get around Europe. Coal and quarry wagons etc.

[@Clearanceman2]

@@jgdooley2003 There are some hobos on you tube that make videos

[@ricknewport6781]

Couldn't agree more!

Always luved this song except the lines about the liquor tasting good and the women were all fast. So, I'm proposing slight changes: The liquor always goes down fast
And it wasn't just the women who were fast ....
