Waiting For A Train Lyrics - Duane Allman

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 says "If you've got the money 

I'll see that you don't walk" 

I haven't got a nickel 

Not a penny I can show 

"Get off, get off, you railroad bum" 

He 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 stars up above 

Nobody seems to want me 

Or lend me a helping hand 

I'm on my way from Frisco 

I'm going to Dixie land 

Though my pocketbook is empty 

And my heart is full of pain 

I'm a thousand miles away from home 

Just waiting for a train
