Echoes From the County Line – Pat Melfi Songs | Americana Ballad of Small-Town Memory (1975-2025)

Описание: “Dreams we traded for second shifts.
Love gone missing like county myths.”

Echoes from the County Line is a slow-burning Americana ballad filled with dusty memories, working-class ghosts, and the love stories that faded somewhere between neon diners and second jobs.

Written in 1975 and re-mastered in 2025 by Pat Melfi, this track blends small-town nostalgia with poetic realism — for fans of Kris Kristofferson, Townes Van Zandt, or Jason Isbell.
Raise a glass to the ones who stayed behind… and the echoes they left behind.

From the album Work Boots and Broken Radios

ECHOES FROM THE COUNTY LINE
Written by Pat Melfi
March 17th, 1975-2025

Moonlight dances on the rusted rails
Whispers carried by the midnight gales
Old Joe's diner, neon flickers low
Stories buried where the wild winds blow

CHORUS
Echoes from the county line
Ghosts of payphones and porchlight fights
Cigarette vows and restless nights
Dreams we traded for second shifts
Love gone missing like county myths
Echoes from the county line

Jenny's laughter in the summer haze
Faded like the fields where we used to laze
The church bell's silence speaks of time
Moments lost beyond the county line

CHORUS
Echoes from the county line
Ghosts of payphones and porchlight fights
Cigarette vows and restless nights
Dreams we traded for second shifts
Love gone missing like county myths
Echoes from the county line

BRIDGE
Trains no longer pass this way, tracks overgrown where children play
Yet in the stillness, voices chime, singing songs of the county line

CHORUS
Echoes from the county line
Ghosts of payphones and porchlight fights
Cigarette vows and restless night
Dreams we traded for second shifts
Love gone missing like county myth
Echoes from the county line

So, we'll raise a glass to days gone by to the echoes from the county line
