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 break
And each time that locomotive pulls away
I swear I'm gonna leave
This place
Oh, but here I stay
See, the Lord he ain't been this way
In quite some time
And if I recall correct
He used to ride this Warren County Line
And now and then I call on him
But I don't get no reply
I don't get no reply
No reply

Well, you can wait on something only so long
Before your mind begins to roam
Said you can think on something only so long
Before the devil makes your thoughts his own
And you are young, child
Yeah, 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 yeah yeah 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
And now and then I call on him
I don't get no reply
I don't get no reply
No reply
