I Thought It Was The Thunder (But It Was Really Just The Train)
Tom Flannery

Not as young as I used to benfeel worn down half the timenthe other half I'm restingngotta conserve to get what's minenthe road goes on forevernjust today soaked by the rainnI thought it was the thunder nbut it was really just a trainnnThe faces all look the samensteal what they can't buynfingers crossed behind their backsnfor a way out of the liena bigger bunch of phoniesnone would be hard pressed to namenI thought it was the thunder nbut it was really just a trainnnwatch the eyes when they watch younperception overloadnyou're like a mirage in the desertnor a speed bump in the roadnnSo to hell with this silly gamenand to hell with all of younI'm heading undergroundnmore important things to donI was wondering how I'd get therenand just why I should remainnI thought it was the thunder nbut it was really just a trainnnit made me turn my headnI looked to the skynright then the conductor blew the whislenand waved as he went by
