It's called slow train coming
It's been coming a long time but it's picking up speed
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Can't help but wonder what's happenin' to my companions
Are they lost or are they found
Have they counted the cost, it'll take to bring down
All their earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
I had a woman, down in Alabama
She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was realistic
She said, boy without a doubt
Have to quit your mess and straighten out
You could die down here, be another accident statistic
But there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
(A slow train coming) all that foreign oil controlling American soil
Look around you, it's just bound to make you embarrassed
Sheiks walkin' around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings
Deciding America's future from Amsterdam and to Paris
But there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
Man's ego is inflated
He knew his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
You can't rely no more to be standin' around waitin'
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Fools glorify themselves, trying to manipulate Satan
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters
Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
But the enemy I see, wears a cloak of decency
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
But there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting
You know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it
They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions
They talk about a life of brotherly love
Show me someone who knows how to live it
But there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
Slow train coming
Well, my baby went to Illinois
With some bad-talkin' boy she could destroy
A real suicide case, but there was nothin' I could do to stop it
I don't care about economy, I don't care about astronomy
But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets
But there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
Up around the bend
Slow train, there's a slow train coming
Slow train, there's a slow train coming
Slow train, there's a slow train coming
Coming
Coming
Coming
