I'm A Caboose

All the jobs I ever trained for Tend to fade away They say that I'm Redundant They say I'm In the way I used to dig the ice out of the river over there I'd store it packed in straw They don't need that anymore I'm a caboose, I'm a caboose I used to have a function I used to have a use I'm a caboose, I'm a caboose They left me at the junction When they cut me loose I used to stoke the engines With my sweat and filthy coal But technology replaced me And I've got nowhere to go I wanna be a classic car an antique shop filled with artifacts I wanna be a 10 cent chocolate barBut they say, there's no going back I'm a caboose, I'm a caboose Rusting on a rusty spur Waiting for things to occur I'm a caboose, I'm a caboose They left me at the junction When they cut me loose I used to sell their products until the products disappeared Or else they're made overseas They can't afford to make them here The world is spinning way too fast And I used to ride the Trunk The treasures of the recent past Now are worthless junk I'm a caboose, I'm a caboose I used to have a function I used to have a use I'm a caboose, I'm a caboose They left me at the junction When they cut me loose I've always been quite attached to trains They always know which way they're going Now the trains they whistle past, They don't slow down, they move too fast I'm a caboose, I'm a caboose I used to have a function I used to have a use I'm a caboose, I'm a caboose They left me at the junction When they cut me loose I'm a caboose.
