Lyrics
(backing vocals for this song by C. J. Hoose) "AT THE DEPOT" by Michael J. Martin VERSE I: There's a woman at the depot She's waiting on her train To take her to California To leave behind her pain... She doesn't have much money So I guess she'll make it by Sell her soul for nothing Until she's satisfied... You see her mother died last autumn Of a dreaded Heart attack And the man she loved had left her And said he's never coming back... (She's crying at the depot...) VERSE II: She's crying at the depot Her head between her legs I walk on over to her And ask her her name... She tells me all her sorrows And how things ought to be She tells me that she's crying Over distant memories... She says I'm lonely and I'm tired I have nowhere left to run So I'm going to California Until I reach that golden sun... ENDING: There's a woman at the depot She's waiting on her train To take her to California To leave behind her pain...
