Lyrics
Land of Lincoln
© Brooks/Garner/Brewer
Standing in the land of Lincoln
Waiting for the train to come
Sixteen hours of thinking
Deciding you ain't the one
Starting to wonder does this train even run?
Lonely in the land of Lincoln
Leaning on the shoe shine box
Sixteen hours of drinking
I'm as useless as a broken clock
Starting wonder if I outta walk?
How many times have I counted on you.
How many times have you not come through
Seems everything you do
Is too little, too late or too few
Arriving in the land of Lincoln
Guess the 4:11's rolling in
Sixteen hours of chugging
Looking like my new best friend
Starting to wonder where the hell have you been?
How many times have I counted on you.
How many times have you not come through
Seems everything you do
Is too little, too late or too few
Leaving the land of Lincoln
Watching the trees fly by
Sixteen hours of waiting
Any longer and I would've cried
Starting to wonder..............
