LyricMeaning

Boxcar
Brett Newski

We are still alive

Hangin on for dear life

On a cargo train

With no ticket back


The boxcar it rides

Like a kid would drive

If he was sleep deprived

And without a license


Though no dimes

We’ve both got the time

And time can be pretty

Pretty hard to find

Still if you left

I’d lay my back against the tracks

To make sure I could see

That boxcar


Heading west

No destination yet

Except the screaming wind


Get some coffee, if we all chip in


No assimilation

No extra rations

And most folk would say

No rational, no common sense, where’s you head?


But our heads clear

Clearer every year

The underdog up from behind

if you all left

I’d lay my back against the tracks

To make sure I could see

That boxcar


Pack your bags and say goodbye

Don’t ask questions, don’t as why

There are no rules to abide by

In this boxcar
