Station Blues by Cris Scott Jacobs, Cris Jacobs Music (ASCAP)

North from nowhere, goin’ south from here,
Way to dark for old me to steer,
So I’m standing there waiting for the line
Maybe ride her down to Carolina

But I’ve been a long time waiting on that train
Better get on board before the rain
Momma say, “you are lucky son and
I’ve been waiting all night long,
And that train don’t come.”

Lights come down on my waiting gate
Station man saying that, “you’re too late,” but I
Spent the last of my po’ boy share
Laid it on the line for railroad fare.

Well I’ve been a long time waiting on that train
Better get on board before the rain
Momma say, “you are lucky son and
I’ve been waiting all night long,
And that train don’t come.”

Gonna have to find that engineer
Gonna have to tear that depot down
Just gotta get on outta here
Been waiting too long in the town

Instrumentals

Gonna have to find that engineer
Gonna have to tear that depot down
Just gotta get on outta here
Been waiting too long in the town

So I bought a ticket,
Packed my bag,
Took off faster than a derby nag
But now, it’s just me
And my walkin’ shoes
Ain’t got no cure for the Station Blues

For the Station Blue
I’ve got the Stations Blues
Waitin’ on that train

I’ve got the Station Blues
Blues…
