Waitin' On A Train

My baby told me she was leavin’
I cried and begged her not to go
Since she got on that train it’s been loneliness and pain
And when she’s comin’ back I don’t know

Her sister lives in Shreveport Louisiana
Her mama’s down in Kingsport Tennessee
I don’t know where she’s gone but she’s been away too long
While i’m drowning here in misery

I’ve been sittin’ here waitin’ on a train
Sittin’ here waitin’ on a train
Starin’ down those tracks, Lord I want my baby back
I’ve been sittin’ here waitin’ on a train

My friends all tell me that i’m crazy
They say I’m better off with you gone
They just don’t understand, without you I’m half a man
And I’m tired of livin’ here all alone

If she don’t come back soon I’m gonna follow
I’m gonna hop that southbound train and ride
I’ll search from town to town ’til my true love can be found
And my baby’s back here by my side

I’ve been sittin’ here waitin’ on a train
Sittin’ here waitin’ on a train
Starin’ down those tracks, Lord I want my baby back
I’ve been sittin’ here waitin’ on a train

I’ve been sittin’ here waitin’ on a train
Sittin’ here waitin’ on a train
Starin’ down those tracks, Lord I want my baby back
I’ve been sittin’ here waitin’ on a train
