'Frisco Depot

Frisco's a mighty long way
 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
 They have some buildings
 That reach nearly 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
