Waiting For A Train

Lyrics

[Verse 1] All around the water towers, waiting for a train A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman, just to give him a line of talk He said if you've got money, I'll see that you don't walk Well. I haven't got a nickel Not a penny can I show Get off, get off you railroad bum And he slammed that boxcar door [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Well, he put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love The wide open spaces all around me The moon and stars up above Nobody seems to want me, nor to lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco, going back to Dixieland My pocketbook is empty, my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home Just waitin' for a train
