Train Songtext / Lyric

A quarter after two

Sittin' in my car, watchin'

Waitin' on a train

Ninety seven flat cars

Loaded down with troop, trucks and tanks

Rollin' by



I'm twenty one

And I'm scared as hell

I quit school

I was healthy as a horse

Because of all that

I'll be the first one to die in a war






The whole damn town was sleepin'

Dreamin' the same dream

Radio was playin'

Roger McWilliams singin'

"To each and every thing

There's a time and a season"



I'm twenty one

And I'm scared as hell

I quit school

I was healthy as a horse

Because of all that

I'll be the first one to die in a war



Yes I have no right to say

We all die anyway

An' I'd just like to know

Where does my time go?

What for? What for?



A quarter after two

Sittin' in my car, watchin'

Waitin' on a train

Ninety seven flat cars

Loaded down with troop, trucks and tanks

Rollin' by
