Folky political , narrative ballad , still timely I think , with Mike Nolan on lap steel and Jean Caze playing some mariachi trumpet on the track .
lyrics
The journey is long and it's hard .
Two thousand miles for an elusive card .
He knows that several have tried .
He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.
He hears his mother weep .
Her tears won't let him sleep .
It pains his heart , but his mind is made up.
He hears his bother's radio,
Play three sad songs in a row.
