Biography:
The Flatlanders is an American country band from Lubbock, Texas, founded in 1972 by Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock.
The fact that all that these Texas music titans, on their first go-round as The Flatlanders in 1972, were completely rejected by the country music establishment is surprising in retrospect but, ultimately, poetic.

[Verse]
C F C
Standin' in the station, I got no destination, I'm wavin' my heart goodbye
F C
I'm walkin' in the crowd and I'm talkin' out loud, I'm tellin' myself don't cry
G F C
And Lord, I'd rather not forget what I forgot, but I guess I'm gonna have to try
C F C
Standin' in the station I got no reservation, I'm wavin' my heart goodbye
F C
I know it's not to blame but it's leavin' just the same and nobody ever asked it why
G F C
Standin' in the rain, wonderin' if the train will stop before the tears will dry
C F C
Standin' in the station, it's a sad situation, I'm wavin' my heart goodbye
F C
It's movin' down the track and it ain't lookin' back and I'm feelin' like I could die
G F C
A train is made to roam like a heart without a home and I'm thinkin' maybe so was I

F C
I wonder will tomorrow come to hide the sorrow, will the sun forsake the sky?
F C
And Lord, I'd rather not forget what I forgot but I guess I'm gonna have to try
G F C
Standin' in the station, I got no destination, I'm wavin' my heart good- bye
G F C
Standin' in the station, I'm wavin' my heart good- bye
