Lyrics Waiting for a Train - Mono Version - Johnny Cash

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
Well he put me off in Texas, a state 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
