A friend and I used to take the train to Chicago for a day of adventure sometimes And we'd play games with the faces of the people too. Or pretend we were Nick and Nora Charles of the Thin Man solving a case we'd make up.

In the "patriotic" genre, it takes me back to some Arlo Guthrie stuff in how it brings out the "everyman" vibe. Such authenticity.
