Retro Lyrics

 

WAITING FOR A TRAIN

 

All around the water tank waiting for a train

A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain

I walked up to a brakeman to give him a line of talk

He says if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk

I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show

He said get off you railroad bum

And he slammed the box car door

 

He put me off in Texas a place I dearly love

Wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars up above

Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helping hand

I'm on my way from Frisco goin' back to Dixieland

My pocket book is empty and my heart is filled with pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home

Just waiting for a train
