I'm just a rider A rider on the rail I'm just a rider on the rail Where's this train a-going? Fuck if I can tell But I'm just a rider on the rail Don't ask the captain, please To tell you what's the reason 'Cause I'm sure he's long forgotten The days when he was young, And he carried by the ton, Your corn and coal and cotton. I'm just a rider A rider on the rail I'm just a rider on the rail Where's this train a-going? Well, far as I can tell But I'm just a rider on the rail Now stand in your place, And man, don't look in my face 'Cause I'll do for you no favor With no sense of remorse, We'll stay our plotted course From this we will not waver No! If you want my reasons for Just why I joined the war Well I'll tell you, I, I had to 'Cause when they tell you, "Son, Stand straight and take this gun" Well they also point one at you I'm just a rider A rider on the rail I'm just a rider on the rail Where's this train a-going? Prob'ly straight to hell But I'm just a rider on the rail You can call me captain, You can call me what you will But I'm just a rider on the rail I'm just a rider on the rail Well I'm just a rider on the rail (Etc.)
