"Old Man Waiting" - Charles J. Adams III
Track 1 of 18 on the album "Tracks" (2008)

[Intro]
F    C
G7   C


[Verse 1]
C
Every day, you'll find him
G7             C
By this lonely track
C
Hoping for a passing train
       G7           C
That's never coming back
F         C
50 years ago, the last train
F                 C
Rumbled down this line
C
Still, he keeps a vigil
     G7               C
Just sitting, killing time


[Verse 2]
     C
With precious few tomorrows
       G7          C
But so many yesterdays
    C
The old man bears no sorrows
       G7             C
In his weary wizened gaze
    F              C
His mind is set to wandering
        F              C
Through many years and miles
  C
A lifetime rich with memories
   G7             C
Of many tears and smiles


[Verse 3]
       C
As the old man reminisces
       G7                C
From a dark and distant veil
  C
A locomotive hisses
      G7              C
And a whistle faintly wails
    F                  C
The phantom train came rolling in
     F                  C
In a cloud of steam and smoke
    C
The old man's failing eyes lit up
    G7            C
But not a word he spoke


[Verse 4]
   C
He listened as the locomotive
G7                   C
Huffed and puffed in place
    C
And then he drew his final breaths
       G7                C
With a broad grin on his face
       F                 C
The conductor smiled and said to him
        F                C
"You're coming home with me
       C
It's a highball straight to heaven
     G7          C
Next stop: eternity"
