Waitin' for a Train
Merle Haggard
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 With 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.
