You can wait here for the train

Not sure it will arrive today

It seems to make it to the station

Just once or twice a week

The ticket seller said


I been on my feet so long child

That my knees begin to ache

And each time that locomotive pulls away

I swear I'm gonna leave this place

But here I stay


See the Lord he ain't been this way

In quite some time

If I recall correct he used to ride this Warren County line

Now and then I call on him

But I don't get no reply


You can wait on something only so long

Before your mind begins to roam

You can think on something only so long

Before the devil makes your thoughts his home


And you are young child 

You are strong

You might think that time will wait for you

But I'm telling you you're wrong

So get a bus child

Or you can go on foot

Yeah, you can wait here, but if I was you I wouldn't


Cause the Lord he ain't been this way

In quite a while

And if I recall correct he used to walk this Warren County mile

But now and then I call on him

I don't get no reply
