"Slow Train" lyrics

"Slow Train"

I'm heartbroken and I'm feelin' low-down
I'm sick and tired of the life I live around this old town
And I'm gettin' tired of cryin' over you
So honey, here's what I'm gonna do:

I'm takin' the slow train for a long ride
I'm gonna stay a long time
Losin' an old love, startin' a new life
I'm takin' the slow train, leavin' tonight

Well I'm as lonesome as a soul could be
I've got to find someone who cares a little bit for me
And I'm gettin' tired of goin' down the track
Still honey, I ain't never comin' back

I'm takin' the slow train for a long ride
I'm gonna stay a long time
Losin' an old love, startin' a new life
I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight

I'm takin' that slow train for a long ride
I'm gonna stay a long time
Losin' an old love, startin' a new life
I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight
I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight
