My Town can wait

Heading out of town
On the Meldrum Road
Got down to the station
The wind blew cold
My old suit jacket
And my Trilby Hat
Lay blowing in the wind
Next to where I sat
My life I’ll give to you, world
Greet me with open arms
My town can wait
It’s going to be great
I’ll come back and tell you all
Come back and tell you all
The train heading south was coming
Breaking through the night
It must have seen me waiting
My time in this town is out
My friends, I know I’ll miss them
A few of them I will write
I turn and touch the window
My town goes out of sight
So my life I’ll give to you, world
Greet me with open arms
My town can wait
It’s going to be great
I’ll come back and tell you all
Come back and tell you all
I woke up on the platform
Dust man sweeping past
This rambling, hungry feeling
Has not the strength to last
So I walked back to the square
Look up at my house
One day I know I’ll leave you
And take the train down south
So my life is back with you, town
Greet me with open arms
The world, it can wait
It’s going to be great
I’ll come back and tell you all
Come back and tell you all
