(Chorus)
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

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 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 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?

(Chorus)
