|
All around the water tank |
|
Waitin' for a train |
|
I'm a thousand miles away from home |
|
Sleeping in the rain |
|
I walked up to a brakeman |
|
Just to make a line of talk |
|
He said, \"Son 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 |
|
Well, get off, get off, you railroad bum |
|
He slammed the boxcar door |
|
Well, he put me off in Texas |
|
A state I dearly love |
|
Wide open spaces all around me, Lord |
|
The moon and stars above |
|
My pocketbook is empty |
|
My old heart is filled with pain |
|
I'm a thousand miles away from home |
|
And I'm waitin' for a train |
