Waitin' For My Train
It was early morning by the railroad track
I watched the trains go forth and back
I saw an older man, he was sittin' on a bench
Hidin' in the shade
I sat down by his side
And I could tell that he'd been cryin'
I said, mister, is there something wrong?
He just looked at me and sighed
He said I'm waiting for my train to come
My final hour has begun
My work here well, it's been done
And I've had some good times along the way
All my friends are long gone
I hope they're waitin' at the end of the line
I'm waiting for my train to come
Just sittin' here bidin' time
He said son, this man you see
Ain't half the man I used to be
I was good with the ladies
But I done a lot of bad things
Been runnin' from a lawman's gun
I ain't got no ticket, dn't know where I'm goin'
Mountain high or that valley below
Yeah, dare I say, you know I might even pray
I guess I oughtta search my soul
Yeah, I'm waiting for my train to come
My final hour has begun
My work here well, it's been done
And I've had some good times along the way
All my friends are long gone
I hope they're waitin' at the end of the line
I'm waiting for my train to come
Just sittin' here bidin' time
Yeah I'm waiting for my train to come
Just sittin' here bidin' time
I hope it's gonna be just fine
When I reach the end of the line
I watched the trains go forth and back
I saw an older man, he was sittin' on a bench
Hidin' in the shade
I sat down by his side
And I could tell that he'd been cryin'
I said, mister, is there something wrong?
He just looked at me and sighed
He said I'm waiting for my train to come
My final hour has begun
My work here well, it's been done
And I've had some good times along the way
All my friends are long gone
I hope they're waitin' at the end of the line
I'm waiting for my train to come
Just sittin' here bidin' time
He said son, this man you see
Ain't half the man I used to be
I was good with the ladies
But I done a lot of bad things
Been runnin' from a lawman's gun
I ain't got no ticket, dn't know where I'm goin'
Mountain high or that valley below
Yeah, dare I say, you know I might even pray
I guess I oughtta search my soul
Yeah, I'm waiting for my train to come
My final hour has begun
My work here well, it's been done
And I've had some good times along the way
All my friends are long gone
I hope they're waitin' at the end of the line
I'm waiting for my train to come
Just sittin' here bidin' time
Yeah I'm waiting for my train to come
Just sittin' here bidin' time
I hope it's gonna be just fine
When I reach the end of the line
