The original audio was a bit quiet, so I compressed the audio to expand the audibility of this beautiful Tom Waits classic. I also threw in some pics to keep it visually interesting. Enjoy:)

Even though this is about Serviceton, I could apply this to the many shrinking or extinct towns here in the back roads of Kansas, full of old rusty and decaying structures, and which were once big railroad stops.

Done this trip a few times over 30+ years and with no canteen on board made the Southwalk beer at the change over to the Indian Pacific the worst beer I've had in my life. Last year the only stop was at Murray Bridge, nothing like the trip back in 1970. With all the towns shutting down I think it's time to take the "Long Paddock", run in the fields of Patterson's Curse, get out the swag and billy can.

I can appreciate that sentiment. Its one of Tom's more uniquely evocative songs. An ideal soundtrack for driving though many of Texas' smallest towns; most of which are characterized by old boarded up store fronts on buildings that age back likely to the 1920's, or maybe older. In one building I drove past recently, I saw through the windows how the interior of the building was sunlit where the ceiling was collapsed inside. Flora was growing freely there. Strange, sad and lovely in a way.

There are songs that remind you of times in your life where you are doing a lot of reflecting. Possibly searching for answers. This song takes me to St. Michael's Maryland. I'm sitting on the shore with a beer, the sun is setting, and I'm trying to figure out the next step in my life. Every time I hear this song, it takes me right back there.
