I'm waitin' at the station
I can choose my destination
I'm a free soul, I got no chains
But it's a long time between trains

I took a long nap
I read a whole book
I got nice legs
I got decent looks
And I'm not one who complains
But it's a long time between trains

And who'd have thought it all those years
That I would find myself back here
Feeling restless and ignored
Starin' at the schedule board

Wondering why the fates above
Always route love through Miami
And sometimes lovers smile their smiles
While I count the ceiling tiles

And, well, give or take a few
There's one thousand fifty-two
But that depends if you include
The eighty-eight out in the hall

Yes, I'm waiting at the station
With my old friend sublimation
You know the Wright boys designed planes
Musta been a long time between trains
