'Frisco Depot Lyrics

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 IHere 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 coldWhen you're cold there's nothin'
As welcome as sunshine
When you're dry there's nothin'
As welcome as rainWhen 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 skyEveryone's so busy
They can't tell me the reason why

Here's a world full of people
So damn many people aloneWhen you're alone
Life just don't seem worth livin'
While you're alive
Ya gotta learn to live with the painYou'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 rainWhen you're alone there's nothin'
As slow as passin' time
When you're afoot, Lord
There's nothin' as fast as a train
