Jim Reeves - Waiting For A Train Lyrics
All around the water tankWaitin' for a trainA thousand miles away from homeSleepin' in the rain.I walked up to a brakemanTo give him a line of talkHe said if you've got moneyI'll see that you don't walk.I haven't got a nickelNot a penny can I showGet off, get off, you railroad bumHe slammed the boxcar door.--- Instrumental ---Well, he put me off in TexasA state I dearly loveThe wide open spaces all around meThe moon and stars up above.Nobody seems to want meOr lend me a helping handI'm on my way from FriscoGoin' back to Dixie Land.My pocketbook is emptyMy heart is full of painI'm a thousand miles away from homeWaitin' for a train...
