Train Lyrics - Fast Moving Cars - Clarks

They grew up in the shadow of the armory 

Land of freedom right out their back door 

Brothers near the middle of the century 

One of them had to go and fight the war 

Somebody had to go 

And fight the war 

And the train goes 

So he left upon the rails toward Ohiopyle 

Youghiogheny flows around the bend 

He told his mother someday he'd be coming home 

The medals shine and the stars never end

But nobody counts on scars 

That never mend 

And the train goes 

Cast iron wheels go hungry in the fields 

Searching for that silver line a long, long way to go 

Cast iron hearts go hungry for spare parts 

Searching for a hand to hold on late night radio 

He flew missions out of London into Germany 

In letters she read once then locked away 

With a picture of him smiling at the armory 

The colors in that flag all washed away
