Waiting For A Train lyrics
Song information
Artist: Merle Haggard
Album: Same Train, Different Time
Lyrics
All around the water tank
Sleepin' in the rain
A thousand miles away from home
Waitin' for a train
I walked up to a brake-man
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
He said "get off, you railroad bum"
And he slammed the boxcar door
Well he put me off in texas
A state I dearly love
Wth the wide open spaces
All around me
The moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me
Or to lend a helping hand
I'm on my way from frisco
Heading back to dixieland
My pocketbook is empty
My heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Waitin' for a train
