WAYLON JENNINGS - FRISCO DEPOT lyrics

rate me

Frisco's a mile long away you can afford to fly

But it might as well be the moon Lord when you're as broke as I

Here I sit with my head in my hands watching the trains roll by

Lord the Helping Hand Mission man warned me that the nights here got cold

When you're cold there's nothing as welcome as sunshine

When you're dry there's nothing as welcome as rain

When you're alone there's nothing as slow as passin' time

When you're afoot Lord there's nothing as fast as a train

[ steel ]

Old Frisco's a mighty rich city now that ain't no lie

Well they have some buildings that reach nearly a mile in the sky

Everyone's so busy they can't tell me the reason why

Here's a world full of people so damn many people alone

When you're alone life just don't seem worth living

While you're alive gotta learn to live with the pain

You've been grown for so long there's no one left who'll forgive

You find yourself searching your mind for the links to the chain

When you're cold...
