Lyrics

Train

[Verse 1]

A quarter after 2

Sitting in my car, watching, waiting on a train

Ninety-seven flatcars

Loaded down with troop trucks and tanks

Rolling by

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

The whole damn town was sleeping

Dreaming the same dream

The radio was playing

Roger McGuinn singing

"To each and every thing there's a time and a season"

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

Yes, I have the right to say

We all die anyway

But I'd just like to know

Where does my dying go?

What for?

What for?

[Verse 1]

A quarter after 2

Sitting in my car, watching, waiting on a train

Ninety-seven flatcars

Loaded down with troop trucks and tanks

Rolling by
