Lyrics
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
