Uncle Tupelo Train
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
