[00:24.10]Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
[00:29.49]Can't help but wonder what's happening to my companions
[00:34.31]
[00:35.20]Are they lost or are they found,
[00:38.13]have they counted the cost it'll take to bring down
[00:41.62]All their earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon ?
[00:46.37]There's slow, slow train coming up around the bend.
[00:54.12]
[00:58.79]I had a woman down in Alabama
[01:04.02]She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was realistic
[01:10.41]She said, Boy, without a doubt, have to quit your mess and straighten out
[01:16.25]You could die down here, be just another accident statistic
[01:22.18]There's slow, slow train coming up around the bend.
[01:30.11]
[01:33.86]All that foreign oil controlling American soil
[01:39.61]Look around you, it's just bound to make you embarrassed
[01:45.67]Sheiks walking around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings
[01:51.42]Deciding America's future from Amsterdam and to Paris
[01:57.63]And there's slow, slow train coming up around the bend.
[02:05.83]
[02:44.15]Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
[02:52.18]You can't rely no more to be standing around waiting
[02:56.05]In the home of the brave, Jefferson turning over in his grave
[03:01.37]
[03:02.55]Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate Satan
[03:07.97]And there's slow, slow train coming up around the bend.
[03:16.18]
[03:19.29]Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters
[03:25.58]Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
[03:30.64]
[03:31.19]But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency
[03:37.13]All non-believers and men stealers talking in the name of religion
[03:42.15]
[03:43.17]And there's slow, there's slow train coming up around the bend.
[03:50.82]
[03:54.58]People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting
[04:00.16]Oh, you know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it
[04:06.07]They say loose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions
[04:11.69]They talk about a life of brotherly love,
[04:14.36]show me someone who knows how to live it
[04:17.85]
[04:18.43]There's slow, slow train coming up around the bend.
[04:25.74]
[04:29.63]Well, my baby went to Illinois with some bad-talking boy she could destroy
[04:35.11]A real suicide case, but there was nothing I could do to stop it
[04:40.41]
[04:41.10]I don't care about economy, I don't care about astronomy
[04:46.36]
[04:47.08]But it's sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets
[04:52.11]
[04:53.16]There's slow, slow train coming up around the bend.
[05:00.77]
