I hear a fuzzy AM station
As I head toward my chosen damnation
Runaway train, leaving town
Ain`t gonna be seen around
Gonna catch that 9:05, get outta this town alive
Soldiers of fortune, paupers of peace
Fight over my soul while I sleep
Rollin` rhythm, ease my mind
Gonna leave this town behind
Last train leavin` town
Ain`t gonna be seen around no more
At night I lay in my bed and dream, and hear that lonesome whistle scream
Now the smoke you see ain`t from the mill
They`re burnin` Vonnegut and Zeppelin on Mount Pleasant Hill
Gonna catch that 9:05
I`m getting` out of this town alive
