"Slow Train" lyrics

Sometimes I wonder
Can't help but wonder
Wonder just what is happening to my companions
Are they lost or are they found?
Have they counted the cost it'll take
To bring down principle, they're gonna have to abandon

And there's a slow train
Coming round the bend
And there's a slow train
Coming round the bend

I had me a woman
Down in Alabama
She was a backwoods girl sure was realistic
She said 'boy without a doubt
Quit your mess and straight out
Or you could die down here be another accident statistic'

And there's a slow train
Coming round the bend
And there's a slow train
Coming round the bend

Big time negotiators
False healers women haters
Masters of the bluff, masters of the proposition
They say lose your inhibition
Follow your own ambition
They talk about brotherly love, but nobody lives it

And there's a slow train
Coming round the bend
And there's a slow train
Coming round the bend

My baby went to Illinois
With some fool she could destroy
A real suicide case there was nothing I could do to stop it
I don't care about economy
I don't care about astronomy, ah
It sure bothers me when my loved ones turn into puppets

And there's a slow train
Coming round the bend
And there's a slow train
Coming round the bend
And there's a slow train
Coming round the bend
