P.S. in the live version on CD, they do an extra verse in the middle the 
lyrics to it are:

This mountain king, 's done left his throne
On the Tennessee River and his mountain home
But I'm goin' back, leavin' today
to my homeland, so far away

Drivin' down to Dixie, wastin' no time
Back to the good life I left behind
Goin' to the river with my fishin' line
I'm on Lookout Mountain about suppertime

(chorus, last verse, etc.)

BNSF Coal Train Over Tennessee River & Into Decatur, Al
March 15, 2008 10:35 AM CDT Here's an BNSF coal train coming over the Tennessee River in Decatur, Al. The train has trackage rights over the NS/ CSX shared bridge. The sun became cooperative for a moment & lit this one up as they made their way over. Take a close look at the DPU in the rear. When it first comes into the shot it's belching black smoke. Enjoy!
