Waitin’ on a Train Songtext
von The Bottle Rockets

We were married in a fever when we were both 18
But our fever died so cold when we reached 23
Now I got me a little boy, but I don′t get to see him much
His mom, she's remarried well, and his new dad
Could give him more than love

Waiting on a train, waiting on a train
The engine′s dirty and the cars are plain
Like me he's moving slow but he's got two things on me, you know
Diesel power and he feels no pain

I′m sitting at this crossing, watching those Burlington Northern cars
My alternator′s discharging and this old baby, she ain't long for parts
I wish that I could fix it, you know my dad, he would have known how
But the alcohol, it took him away and only you Lord can help me now


Waiting on a train, waiting on a train
The engine′s dirty and the cars are plain
Like me, he's moving slow but he′s got two things on me, you know
Diesel power and he feels no pain

I'm so tired of being lonesome
I′m so tired of being blue
I'm so tired of waiting lonely
For the days I could see you

Waiting on a train, waiting on a train
The engine's dirty and the cars are plain
Like me, he′s moving slow, but he′s got two things on me, you know
Diesel power and he feels no pain
Diesel power and he feels no pain
Diesel power and he feels no pain
