Jim Reeves - The Essential Jim Reeves

Waiting For a Train

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 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 waiting for a train
