Artist/Band: Jim Reeves
Lyrics for Song: Waiting for a Train
Lyrics for Album: The Essential Jim Reeves [RCA Nashville/Legacy] [2006]



(Jimmie Rodgers)



All around the water tank

Waitin' for a train

A thousand miles away from home

Sleepin' 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

He slammed the boxcar door.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, he put me off in Texas

A state I dearly love

The wide open spaces all around me

The moon and stars up above.



Nobody seems to want me

Or lend me a helping hand

I'm on my way from Frisco

Goin' back to Dixie Land.



My pocketbook is empty

My heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home

Waitin' for a train...
