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 a changin', as you can plainly see I felt the joy and I learned about the pain that my momma 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 Sittin' downtown in a railway station one toke over the line
Extra verse (written by Brewer and Shipley)
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 Sittin' downtown in a railway station, I'm 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 Sittin' downtown in a railway station one toke over the line One toke One toke over the line
