Waiting For A Train

I know how I got here
Long trip made me late
How much more ground to cover
To reach my sunshine state?

Hasn’t been vacation
The shit that I’ve been through
Some folks use me badly
Some folks use me true

Many stops seemed good enough
But nothing felt just right
Hopped another moving car
Running from the night

Spent some time at this stop
Looking for the grail
Drank from a very lovely cup
But I still see the rails

Back out on the platform
Maybe one more ride
If this don’t get me home, lord
Where will I abide?

Thought that I’d be there now
Sun is sinking fast
Into a land that burns my eyes
Hope this ride is my last.
