lyrics

SLOW TRAIN

I STARTED OUT WITH NOTHING
BACK IN MEMPHIS TENNESSEE
AND THAT’S JUST HOW I LEFT IT
'CEPT THE GIRL THAT MARRIED ME
AND I HAVE DONE MY HARD TIMES HERE
AND NOTHING CHANGES THAT
BUT I AM THROUGH WITH BEING A FOOL
AND THAT’S A SIMPLE FACT
DAMN THIS SLOW TRAIN

DANGER IS NOTHING IS NO STRANGER TO ME
AND TALK ABOUT YOUR HARD LUCK
I FIND IT NATURALLY
TROUBLE SEEMS TO HAVE MEMORIZED
A PATH RIGHT TO MY DOOR
SHE IS SUCH A FRIEND OF MINE
SHE DON'T KNOCK ANYMORE
AND I DON'T LIE
DAMN THIS SLOW TRAIN

I HAD ENOUGH TROUBLES IN MY LIFE
AND I'M TIRED OF LOOKING AT RAIN
I KNOW BY HEART ALL THE BOTTOM LAND
AND I AIN'T COMING BACK AGAIN
TIMES LEAN, PICK A BONE CLEAN
THAT' S MOSLY WHAT I’VE KNOWN
THAT AIN’T NO COMPLAINT
BUT CAN'T PRETEND THE MILES DON'T SHOW
AND I DON'T LIE
DAMN THIS SLOW TRAIN

WELL I WAS HAVING SO MANY BAD TIMES
I KNEW I HAD TO CHANGE
SO I BOUGHT A ONE WAY TICKET BACK
THOUGH I KNOW IT WON'T BE THE SAME
WELL MAYBE I'M JUST DREAMING
BUT I HOPE SHE REMEMBERS ME
I GUESS I WILL FIND OUT
WHEN I GET BACK TO TENNESSEE
IF I DON'T DIE
AND DAMN THIS SLOW TRAIN
