Lyrics John Denver – Waiting For A Train
Text:
All around the water tower, waiting for a train.
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.
Get off, get off, you railroad bum, and he slammed that boxcar door.
Get off, get off, you railroad bum, and he slammed that boxcar door.
Well, he put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love.
The wide open spaces all round me, the moon and stars up above.
Nobody seems to want me nor to lend me a helping hand.
I’m on my way from ‘Frisco, going back to Dixieland.
My pocketbook is empty, my heart is full of pain.
I’m a thousand miles away from home, just waiting for a train.
