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
