Waiting For A Train Lyrics - Jim Reeves

All around the water tank waitin' for a train 

A thousand miles away from home sleepin' 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 

I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show 

Get off get off you railroad bum 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 up above 

Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helping hand 

I'm on my way from Frisco goin' back to Dixie Land 

My pocketbook is empty my heart is full of pain 

I'm a thousand miles away from home waitin' for a train
