About this song
Josh Turner wrote the song in 1999 while he was a 21-year-old college student at Belmont University in Nashville. He said the idea came to him as a vision on his walk home across campus, after he had been listening to a Hank Williams CD box set in the library.
What it's about
The song draws on a vision Turner described of a long black train roaring out of the darkness across a wide open plain, with people watching from the sides of the track.
