Do you remember when they said
That they'd blow our whole world into oblivion?
And that the war was a long way away
And anyway, who gives a shit for your opinion?
I'm coming clean, I swear, my dear
I would be lost without it now
And when my coat would stink of that evil smoke
You thought my train got lost

Hey, somebody bombed the train
They blew it right off of the rails
So I can't see you today
And the sailors, they all got out okay
And made it back to Great Lakes
Sneaking whiskey back onto the base

Hey, has anybody heard from Shane?
I haven't seen him in days
I hope he's not found near the rails

And Julie, she loved to look at the trains
And round out painting her nails
In her cut-offs next to the rails
And the switchmen
They all knew her by name
They waited for her on their breaks
To check out her legs and her nails
In Waukeegan, there lies the county jail
But I don't have the bail
Has anybody here seen Shane?

Hey, somebody bombed the train
They blew it right off of the rails
So I can't see you today
Hey, somebody blew up the train
They knocked it right off of the tracks
Has anybody here seen Shane?
'Cause somebody's gotta pay

Somebody's gotta pay...
