Johnny Cash - Waiting for a Train lyrics
[Johnny Cash - Waiting for a Train lyrics]
A thousand miles away from home
Sleeping in the rain
I walked up to a brakeman 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 place I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me
The moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me nor to
Lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
Heading back to Dixie Land
My pocketbook is empty my heart
Is willed with pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Just waiting for a train
