Jackson Station Lyrics - The Band Of Heathens - The Band Of Heathens

Mama got a voice like sugar so sweet and fine 

Sister singing Amazing Grace, right in time 

They're laying poor papa low, in the ground that he worked and sowed 

They waitin' at the Jackson Station for the train to roll 

She been up all night, she got crows walking round her eyes 

She can still raise a cup in a toast to a well run dry 

He left her on a Tuesday still, Gin, Whiskey and a bottle of pills 

Now she's waitin' at the Jackson Station looking over the hill 

Take me away, hear that whistle play a sad, sad song 

Lay me down, where the river runs wide and strong 

Sometimes she rides a ticket home 

Other times she'll leave you all alone 

Just waitin' at the Jackson Station for the train to go

The backwater shacks been waking to the 419 

She got the smoke coming out of the stack, dead running on a 10-mile track 

Waitin' at the Jackson Station never coming back
