        G                                          D
She can still raise a cup in a toast to a well ran dry

          G                      D                        G     G7
Now she’s waitin’ at the Jackson Station looking over the hill

   Take me away hear that whistle play a sad sad song
C                        G                   D
   Lay me down where the river runs wide and strong

Sometimes she rides a ticket home 
      C/E                         Eb
Other times she'll leave you all alone
     G                      D                        G
Just waiting at the Jackson Station for the train to roll

Dead running on a ten mile track
      G              D                            G
She’s waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back

She’s waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back

She’s waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back
C                  G     D    G
Ain’t never coming back
