Merle Haggard - Waitin' For A Train lyrics

All around the water tanks 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 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 And he slammed that boxcar door. He put me off in Texas The place I dearly love The wide open spaces all around me The moon and stars up above. Nobody seemed to want me Nor to lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco I'm going back to Dixie Land. Though my pocketbook is empty And my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home Waitin' for a train. Nobody seemed to want me Nor to lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco I'm going back to Dixie Land. Though my pocketbook is empty And my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home Waitin' for a train...
