lyrics

Kurt Cobain

I’m riding on a slow train to Seattle
I’ll never see these broken streets again
Its eighty-two miles into Seattle
I’m running from these streets of hate & pain.

Been dreaming all my life of Seattle
I’m going to chase my hopes & plans & dreams
There’s a thousand gigs & girls in Seattle
And the whole world is going to hear my scream.

Chorus
Aberdeen I hate every inch of you
You tried to crush my dreams but I came through
Aberdeen you’re the only hell I ever knew
I hope one day I can destroy all of you.

I’m riding on a grey train to Seattle
I’m going to play my guitar until I bleed
There’s a thousand different bars in Seattle
I’m going to play them all ‘til I succeed.

There’s rock & punk & music in Seattle
There’s all the places, faces I could need
There’s record label people in Seattle
This band will make them all believe.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

I’m told I’ll never make it in Seattle
I’ll fail & end up back in my home town
But if I don’t make it in Seattle
I’ll find a river & willingly drown.

Chorus

I’m riding on the last train to Seattle
Going to prove I’m no loser after all
I’ll find a god or happiness in Seattle
After all I’ve nowhere left to fall.

Tell all the world & go tell all Seattle
I’m going to set a fire & fan those flames
I’ll find love & a living in Seattle
Everyone in this world will know my name
Everyone in this world will know my name
Everyone in this world will know my name.
