Lyrics
[Intro] [Chorus] One toke over the line, sweet Jesus One toke over the line Sittin' downtown in a railway station One toke over the line Waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary Hopin' that the train is on time Sittin' downtown in a railway station One toke over the line [Verse 1] Who do you love? I hope it's me I've been changin' as you can plainly see I felt the joy and I learned about the pain that my mama said If I should choose to make a part of me, would surely strike me dead [Chorus] And now I'm one toke over the line, sweet Jesus One toke over the line Sittin' downtown in a railway station One toke over the line Waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary Hopin' that the train is on time Sittin' downtown in a railway station One toke over the line [Verse 2] I sailed away a country mile And now I'm returning and showing off my smile I met all the girls and I loved myself a few, and to my surprise Like everything else that I've been through, it opened up my eyes [Chorus] And now I'm one toke over the line, sweet Jesus One toke over the line Sittin' downtown in a railway station One toke over the line Don't you know I'm just waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary? Hopin' that the train is on time Sittin' downtown in a railway station One toke over the line [Bridge] Don't you know I'm just waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary? (Hopin' that the train is on time) I'm hopin' that the train is on time (Sittin' downtown in a railway station) Sittin' in a railway station One toke over the line [Lost Verse] I was born to give and take And as I keep growin' I'm gonna make some mistakes The sun's gonna set and the bird is gonna wing They do not lie My last wish will be just one thing Be smilin' when I die [Chorus] I wanna be one toke over the line, sweet Jesus (One toke over the line) One toke over the line (Sittin' downtown in a railway station) Sittin' in a railway station (One toke over the line) One toke over the line (Don't you know I'm just waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary?) Waitin' for the train that goes home (Hopin' that the train is on time) I'm hopin' that the train is on time (Sittin' downtown in a railway station) Sittin' in a railway station (One toke over the line) One toke over the line Sittin' downtown in a railway station One toke over the line One toke, one toke over the line
