Frisco Depot

Frisco's a full day from home If 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 Watchin' the trains roll by Lord, the helpin' hand mission man warned me That the nights here got cold When you're cold there's nothin' As welcome as sunshine When you're dry there's nothin' As welcome as rain When you're alone there's nothin' As slow as passin' time When you're afoot, Lord There's nothin' as fast as a train Ol' Frisco's a mighty rich city Now that ain't no lie Thеy have some buildings That reach nеarly 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 livin' While you're alive Ya gotta learn to live with the pain You've been gone for so long There's no one left for forgivin' You find yourself searchin' your mind For the links to the chain When you're cold there's nothin' As welcome as sunshine When you're dry there's nothin' As welcome as rain When you're alone there's nothin' As slow as passin' time When you're afoot, Lord There's nothin' as fast as a train
