Written by Len Handler & A.J. Gundell: Performed by The Helium Bros.

I used to walk the railroad tracks between Westwood and Hillsdale, N.J. It was a straight line between the two towns – the only tough part was the railroad bridge by the Banana Factory. In July and August, the trip was usually punctuated by the smell of tar and creosote from the tracks. And by the sounds of cars being worked on in the garages along Broadway that paralleled the tracks. And the blare of baseball over the service station radios.
