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
