All I really know about these lyrics is that a) Lawrenceville is in Georgia, and b) there are better places to be.
Lawrenceville Station Blues (demo)

If you're gonna step on me
Please do me one last act of kindness
Wipe off your boots, or shake off your shoes
'Cause you know good and damned well...
I got dem Lawrenceville Station Blues.

I know you think I'm just a country slice of souse meat
With nothin' left to lose
'Cause I have all of this, and the IRS
So don't bother me now
'Cause I got dem low down Lawrenceville Station Blues

[chorus]
So if you're gonna catch me on the tracks
You might as well search the whole nation
'Cause I've got a ticket to everywhere
Everywhere except that Lawrenceville Station

[instrumental]

[bridge]
We all went to work on this railroad
But what happens at the end of the line?
Do I get off now or waith 'til the whistle blows?
'Cause were it stops next nobody knows

It's getting very hard to have patience
Stuck here in the middle of the Lawrenceville Station
No locomotion and less motivation
Stranded in the bowels of the Lawrenceville Station

[chorus]
So if you're gonna catch me on the tracks
You might as well search the whole nation
'Cause I've got a ticket to everywhere
Everywhere except that Lawrenceville Station

[instrumental]
