[Verse 1]
G D C
They grew up in the shadow of the armory

Land of freedom right out their back door

Brothers near the middle of the century
Em D C
One of them had to go and fight the war

Somebody had to go and fight the war

And the train goes...

Oooohhhhhh
Em F C
Oooohhhhhh

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

[Bridge]
Em D C
Am F
Cast iron wheels go hungry in the fields
Fm C
Searching for that silver line a long, long way to go
Am F
Cast iron hearts go hungry for spare parts
Fm C
Searching for a hand to hold on late night radio
Em F
[Verse 3]
G D C
He flew missions out of London into Germany
Em D C
In letters she read once then locked away
G D C
With a picture of him smiling at the armory
Em D C
The colors in that flag all washed away
Em F C
It's just black and white and a hundred shades of gray
[Final Chorus]
C
And the train goes...
Em F C
Oooohhhhhh
Em F C
Oooohhhhhh
That's the way it goes
Em F C
Oooohhhhhh
