This is one of the BEST Restless Heart songs ever! I never knew my grandfather Burket, but he was a railroad labor for nearly 41 years on the PRR. I love trains and model railroading. When I hear this song and view the video, I get chills and teary-eyed. I almost feel the presence of my grandfather through this song.
Is this song based on the real-life story of a band member or one of the songwriters? Where is the town of Avvon? Is the bridge in the song called “Five Yards?” I would love to hear the story that inspired this song.
