The Proclaimers - Waiting for a Train lyrics

[The Proclaimers - Waiting for a Train lyrics]

All around the water tank
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 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 slammed the boxcar door

He put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me
The moon and the stars up above
Nobody seems to want me
Or lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
Going back to Dixieland
My pocket book is empty and my
Heart is full of pain


I'm a thousand miles away from
Home waiting for a train
