Uncle Tupelo Train Lyrics

Train Lyrics

A quarter after two

Sittin' in my car, watching

Waiting on a train

Ninety-seven flatcars

Loaded down with troop trucks and tanks

Rolling by



I'm twenty-one, and I'm scared as hell

I quit school, I'm healthy as a horse

Because of all that I'll be the first one to die in a war



The whole damn town was sleeping

Dreaming the same dream

The radio was playing

Roger McWilliams singing

"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'm healthy as a horse

Because of all that I'll be the first one to die in a war



Yes, I have the right to say

We all die anyway

But I'd just like to know

Where does my time go
