Slow Train

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and to Paris F Dm Am And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend Am Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated Dm Am They don't apply no more, you can't rely no more to be standin' around waitin' Am In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave Dm Am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