Waiting for a Train — текст песни (John Denver)

This song was first released on the all aboard! album. it is the only album it has been released on.



All around the water tower

Waiting for a train

A thousand miles away from home

Sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman

Just to give him a line of talk

He said if youve got money

Ill see that you dont walk

Well I havent got a nickel

Not a penny can 1 show

Get off, get off you railroad bum

And he slammed that 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

Nor to lend me a helping hand

Im on my way from frisco

Going back to dixieland

My pocketbook is empty

My heart is full of pain

Im a thousand miles away from home

Just waiting for a train
