Lyrics

I came down from a northern town
Chased by the wind and the rain
Won’t be long till I’m homeward bound
I’m just waiting for a train

I’ve been on this road so long
Each town looks the same
Now my travelling’s almost done
I’m just waiting for a train

Cho:
When the evening sky fades to black
Gonna lay my burdens by the railroad track
I’ll get on board – I won’t look back
I’m just waiting for a train

Teenage girl looks to the sky
And back down the track again
Grandma kisses her goodbye
And now she’s waiting for a train

Weary mother out in the crowd
Baby’s crying again
Those college boys laughing way too loud
They’re all waiting for a train

Cho:

We make our journeys all alone
No two lives the same
We’re all looking for a way back home
We’re all waiting for a train
