"I'll see that you don't walk"
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Well, he put me off in Texas
My pocketbook is empty
A state I dearly love
My old heart is filled with pain
Wide open spaces all around me, Lord
Just to make a line of talk
He slammed the boxcar door
I walked up to a brakeman
Well, get off, get off, you railroad bum
He said, "Son if you've got money"
Sleeping in the rain
Not a penny can I show
Well, I haven't got a nickel
The moon and stars above
I'm a thousand miles away from home
