Waiting For Number 7
By James Hunnicutt

I’m waiting for Number 7
She’s 10 long years past due
Slowly she pulls to the station
Though she never seems to make it through

My lot in life but to be a porter
Shoveling lungs full of fire & coal
Forever I wait for her long arrival
'Cuz her haul, it carries my soul

She whistles & whines
Laughs & she cries
Planting her seeds in my mind
No matter how hard I toil
She pulls off to leave me behind

Waitin’ on old Number 7
She’s 20 long years past due
Like a ghost she floats to the station
A flash & she pulls right through…

Have you no room for your lowly porter?
Lungs full of fiery tears & coal
Forever awaiting your arrival
For your haul, carries my soul
