Waiting For A Train - Boz Scaggs/Duane Allman

Written by：Jimmie Rodgers/Boz Scaggs/Jann Wenner/Marlin Greene

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 says If you've got the 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

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

I'm going to Dixie land

Though my pocketbook is empty

And my heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home

Just waiting for a train
