Grannie's waitin' on Jesus
Grandpa's waitin' on her
Mama, she's waitin' on tables
Daddy, he's waitin' on work
Sister, she's waitin' on boyfriend
To give her that diamond ring
And me, I'm sitting on a rusty rail
Just a-pickin' on guitar strings
Waitin' on a train
Take me anywhere but here
Somewhere the neon glows
And a country boy can sing
Might be a dream
But there's bound to be a boxcar bound
Somewhere down 'round Nashville, Tennessee
Lord, carry me
I can't change the world where no world will change
So I'm waitin' on a train
♪
Morning's waitin' on sunrise
To light them fields of gold
Midnight's waitin' on a full moon sky
That's about all I know
Hitchhiked with a one hit rock star
I never did get her name
Broke down in Amarillo
And I been sittin' here two damn days
Waitin' on a train
To take me anywhere but here
Somewhere the neon glows
And a country boy can sing
Might be a dream
But there's bound to be a boxcar bound
Somewhere down 'round Nashville, Tennessee
Lord, carry me
I can't change the world where no world will change
So I'm waitin' on a train
♪
Still waitin' on a train

Grannie's waitin' on Jesus
Grandpa's waitin' on her
Sweet mama still waitin' on tables
Daddy's still waitin' on work
Sister's still waitin' on boyfriend
To give her that diamond ring
And me, I'm sittin' on rusty rails
Still pickin' on a guitar string
Waitin' on a train

Somewhere the neon glows
And country boy can sing
Might be a dream
