about

Get ready to embark on an emotional journey through the heart-wrenching but resilient tales of East Kentucky in our latest music single, 'Daddy's On The Mail Train.'

This evocative folk song, sung with raw authenticity, brings to life the haunting beauty and harsh realities of growing up in the poverty-stricken landscapes of the Appalachian region.

lyrics

Ricky’s on the B-Plan

Working for the mailman

Check’s in the post Ruth

Singing for the whole truth



And Daddy’s on the mail train

Running out of rail track

Hope you know the way home

I think I’m gonna go roam



Factory gates standing still

Brother’s in the church yard

Dogs wait in the dust

Growing old like red rust



And Daddy’s on the mail train

Running out of rail track

Hope you know the way home

I think I’m gonna go roam



Knew this town a long time

Left small in the mirror

Open road all night

It’s our turn to take flight



And Daddy’s on the mail train

Running out of rail track 

Hope you know the way home

I think I’m gonna go roam
