Slow Train (Rehearsal with horns) Lyrics

Sometimes, feel so low down and disgusted
Can't help but wonder what's happening 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 coming up around the bend

I had a woman down in Alabama
She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was a realistic
She said, "Boy, without a doubt, have to quit your mess and straighten out
You could die down here, be another accident statistic"

And there's a slow (slow)
There's a slow train coming up around the bend
(There's a slow train coming)

All that foreign oil controlling American soil
Look around you, it's just bound to make you embarrassed
Sheiks walking around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings
Deciding America's future from Amsterdam and Paris

And there's a slow
There's a slow train coming up around the bend

Man's ego is inflated, you know his laws are outdated
They don't apply no more, you can't rely to be standing around and waiting
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turning over in his grave
Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate Satan

And there's a slow
Slow train coming up around the bend

People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting
Now you know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it
They say loose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions
Well, you know a lot about a life of brotherly love
Show me someone who knows how to live it

And there's a slow
There's a slow train coming, coming around the bend

(Slow train coming)

Well, my baby went to Illinois
With some bad-talking boy she could destroy
A real suicide case, but there was nothing I could do to stop it
I don't care about economy, I don't care about astronomy
But it's sure do bother me, see my loved ones turning into puppets

And there's a slow
Slow train coming up around the bend
(Up around the bend)

And there's a slow
Slow train coming up around the bend
