verse
Mamas got a voice like sugar, so sweet and fine
Sister sang amazing grace and she’s right in time
They laid poor poppa low, in the ground that he worked and sowed
I’ll be waiting at the Jackson Station for the train to roll
verse
She’s been up all night, she got crows walking around her eyes
But she can still raise a cup in a toast til the well ran dry
He left her on a Tuesday still, gin, whiskey and a bottle of pills
Now she’s waitin at the Jackson Station looking over the hill
bridge
Take me away hear the whistle play a sad sad song
Lay me down where the river runs wide and strong
Sometimes she rides a ticket home other times she leave you all alone
Just waiting at the Jackson Station waiting for the train to go
verse
Well the four nineteen is rollin down the red ball line
The backwater shacks will awaken to that four one nine
She got smoke coming out of her stack
She’s running on a ten mile track
Waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back
Waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back
