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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jerry_lee_lewis/waiting_for_a_train_stereo_previously_unreleased.html ]
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
