Waiting For A Train Lyrics - Jerry Lee Lewis

All around the water tank 

Waitin' for a train 

I'm a thousand miles away from home 

Sleeping in the rain 

I walked up to a brakeman 

Just to make a line of talk 

He said son, 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 

Well, get off, get off you rail-road bum 

He slammed the boxcar door 

Well, he put me off in Texas 

I stayed at dearly love 

Wide open spaces all around me, Lord 

Moon and stars above

My pocketbook is empty 

My old heart is filled with pain 

I'm a thousand miles away from home 

And I'm waitin' for a train
