Waiting For A Train

(アルバム： For The Love Of Country - 1999)

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 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 place I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me, the moon and stars above

Nobody seems to want me, nor to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco, heading back to Dixie Land

My pocketbook is empty, my heart is willed with pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home just waiting for a train
