Lyrics Johnny Cash – Waiting For A Train
Text:
All around the water tank waitin’ 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
He said get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door
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 headin’ back to Dixie Land
My pocketbook is empty my heart is willed with pain
I’m a thousand miles away from home just waitin’ for a train
