Outside there's a box car waiting
 Outside the family stew
 Out by the fire breathing
 Outside we wait 'til face turns blue
 I know the nervous walking
 I know the dirty beard hangs
 Out by the box car waiting
 Take me away to nowhere plains

 There is a wait so long (so long)
(So long) You'll never wait so long

 Here comes your man
 Here comes your man
 Here comes your man

 Big shake on the box car moving
 Big shake to the land that's falling down
 Is a wind makes a palm stop blowing
A big, big stone fall and break my crown

 There is a wait so long (so long)
(So long) You'll never wait so long

 Here comes your man
 Here comes your man
 Here comes your man
 Here comes your man
