"The Wagon" is a song by Dinosaur Jr., released as the single for the first time in 1990 by Sub Pop (featuring a B-side, "Better Than Gone" written and sung by Don Fleming of Gumball) and successively in 1991 from their album Green Mind. It was released in 1991 on Blanco Y Negro.[1] This was the groups first recording without original bassist Lou Barlow. [2]

Upon release, Melody Maker named "The Wagon" one of its' two singles of the week, with writer Everett True describing the song as "Sheer exhilaration!".[3]
