Jim Reeves - Waiting for a Train lyrics

All around the water tank Waitin' for a train A thousand miles away from home Sleepin' in the rain. I walked up to a brakeman To give him a line of talk He said 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 Get off, get off, you railroad bum He slammed the boxcar door. --- Instrumental --- Well, he put me off in Texas A state I dearly love The 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 Dixie Land. My pocketbook is empty My heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home Waitin' for a train...
