Waiting for a Train

<p>[Verse]<br/>All around the water tank waiting for a train<br/>A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain<br/>I walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talk<br/>He said if you&#x27;ve got money I&#x27;ll see that you don&#x27;t walk<br/>Well I haven&#x27;t got a nickel not a penny can I show<br/>He said get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door<br/><br/>Well he put me off in Texas a place I dearly love<br/>The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars above<br/>Nobody seems to want me nor to lend me a helping hand<br/>I&#x27;m on my way from Frisco heading back to Dixie Land<br/>My pocketbook is empty my heart is willed with pain<br/>I&#x27;m a thousand miles away from home just waiting for a train
