Waitin For A Train

Merle Haggard

Transposer:

[Intro] D x4 [Verse] All around the water tanks waiting for a train A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman to give him a line of talk He says if you’ve got money I’ll see that you don’t walk I haven’t got a nickel not a penny can I show Get off get off you railroad bum and he slammed that boxcar door [Interlude] [Verse] He put me off in Texas the place I dearly love Wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars up above Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helping hand I’m on my way from Frisco I’m going back to Dixie Land Though my pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain I’m a thousand miles away from home waiting for a train [Solo] [Verse] Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helping hand I’m on my way from Frisco I’m going back to Dixie Land Though my pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain I’m a thousand miles away from home waiting for a train [Outro] Yodel le-ee yodel le-ee yodel le-ee

Cette chanson raconte l’histoire d’un homme en quête de réconfort et de retour vers ses racines. Il se trouve à des milliers de kilomètres de chez lui, sous la pluie, en attente d’un train qui le ramènera à son amour pour le Texas et le Sud. Malheureusement, il se sent seul et délaissé, sans argent et sans aide autour de lui, ce qui amplifie sa douleur et sa nostalgie. À travers ses paroles, on perçoit le désir de retrouver un sentiment d’appartenance et de paix, malgré les difficultés qu’il traverse.
