I am waiting on a train to come, a train to come... a freighttrain. cause I got baggage, I got baggage, I got baggage all my own. I got ex-wives and ex-lovers, a few children I've never known. I've got closets full of bones and there is nothing I can do to keep them all from falling down on top of me and you. I am waiting on a train to come, a train to come... a slow train. Me, I've always been real patient with the things that I would do. I just thought if I'd enjoyed the ride, my dreams would all come true, but of lately I am questioning my very state of mind because I'm finding that I'm needing things and running out of time. I don't even have a photograph of you, but won't you pick me and my baggage up and take me home. I don't mean to bore or bother you with words of old refrains, so I will love you from this station while I'm waiting on a train... a death train. We are born into this world, each one, a ticket in our hand, like a token for a turnstile leading to the promised land. But, I would cash mine in this minute - pay the devil off his due, check my baggage and prepare to spend eternity with you. I don't even have a photograph of you, but won't you pick me and my baggage up and take me home. I don't mean to bore or bother you with words of old refrains, so I will love you from this station while I'm waiting on a train. A death train, a freight train, a slow train. A death train, a freight train, a slow train. I am waiting on a train...
