Samiko (Greek: Σαμικό, before 1923: Αλή Τσελεπή - Ali Tselepi) is a village in the municipality of Skillounta, Elis, Greece. In 2001 its population was 563. It is situated on a hill near the Ionian Sea, 2 km south of Kallikomo, 2 km southeast of Raches, 3 km north of Kato Samiko and 4 km southwest of Krestena.
Samiko takes its name from the ancient Elean city Samikon (Latin: Samicum), which was also known as Same, Samos, Samia and Makistos. It was probably identical with the Homeric Arene. Samikon was located in the ancient country of Triphylia, near the river Anigros. Near the city and the river was the cave of the Anigrid nymphs. The water here reputedly cured skin diseases. The remains of ancient Samikon have been found on a hill 1 km south of Kato Samiko.
A soldier rides on a train to Tennessee
And half asleep he dreams it isn't a dream
With each flick of the wheels a new face goes by
With each face he loves he turns and sighs
And he's headed home
Yes, yes, he's headed home
Tryin' to find his life again
'Cause he wonders what's become of him
Three rows back a young woman looks out the train
Her eyes reveal that her life is desperately plain
She's a woman who's seen this world and not touched one man
She knows she could if she would but she can't
And she's goin' home
Yes, yes, goin' home
Back where life begins and ends
And they feel that you belong to them
That train's just movin' on down the line
Leavin' people who ever did fall behind
And you wanna begin somewhere
But you'll always take a chance out there
So you go down the line
Down the line . . .
I sit half drunk in the dining car and I observe life
I got him pegged and I'm pretty sure I got her right
When you've been as far as I have you just know these things
That's the reason it's sad they drank those drinks
'Cause I got no home
No, no, I need no home
Nothing to bring pain again
It's great just livin' on the wind
But the woman is met by her husband there at the station
And two stops later the soldier's girl is still waitin'
I simply accept the fact they're just lucky, that's all
But the fact is I don't believe they pulled it off!
And I can't go on
No, no, I can't go on
Making everything I see
Fit the way life was for me
That train's just movin' on down the line
Leavin' people who ever did fall behind
And I wanna begin somewhere
But for me there's nothing true out there
So I go down the line
