Its
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 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 sleeping
Dreaming the same dream
The radio was playing
Roger McGuinn singing
“To each and every thing there is 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
Guess I have no right to say
We all die anyway
But I’d just like to know
Where does my dying go?
What for?
What for?
It’s 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
