I fill it with unleaded at the Sinclair
Get a big bag of Lays and a six-pack of beer
Gonna head out to where the hills fall flat
Maybe Kearney or maybe North Platte
Car door slams like a roadside bomb
When my demons and I come home
They roll the sidewalks up here when the sun goes down
So I enlisted in the Guard to get out of town
Wound up in Iraq and I don't know why
Ain't old enough to drink but I'm old enough to die
I can still see his face; some mother's son
When my demons and I come home
(bridge)
Dad tries, but he don’t understand
And with the cuts down at the VA they've done all that they can
If I had the shot again, you know I would aim to miss
They never warn you about that when you enlist
Gravel road, moonless night
Everything is wrong; it'll never be right
I wanna go where there's no pain
So I park on the crossing and wait for the train
I wanna go where I won't feel
So I place my faith in 240 tons of steel
240 tons of steel of the B&M Railroad
When my demons and I come home
Yeah, 240 tons of steel of the Burlington & Missouri Railroad
When my demons and I come home
