Copperline Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Edbrooks 

Cover art for Copperline lyrics by James Taylor

This song always reminded me of my grandfather. He served in World War II in France and came home and worked for forty years on the Pennsylvania Railroad. "He bought it back from the war in France." Sure, I realize it's not really about railroads and World War II veterans, but that's the meaning the song has always had for me.
