Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Can t help but wonder what s happenin to my companions
Are they lost or are they foundhave they counted the cost it ll take to bring
down
All their earthly principles they re gonna have to abandon?
There s a slowslow train comin up around the bend.
I had a woman down in Alabama
She was a backwoods girlbut she sure was realistic
She said"Boywithout a doubthave to quit your mess and straighten out
You could die down herebe just another accident statistic."
There s a slowslow train comin up around the bend.
All that foreign oil controlling American soil
Look around youit s just bound to make you embarrassed.
Sheiks walkin around like kingswearing fancy jewels and nose rings
Deciding America s future from Amsterdam and to Paris
And there s a slowslow train comin up around the bend.
Man s ego is inflatedhis laws are outdatedthey don t apply no more
You can t rely no more to be standin around waitin
In the home of the braveJefferson turnin over in his grave
Fools glorifying themselvestrying to manipulate Satan
And there s a slowslow train comin up around the bend.
Big-time negotiatorsfalse healers and woman haters
Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency
All non-believers and men stealers talkin in the name of religion
And there s a slowslow train comin up around the bend.
People starving and thirstinggrain elevators are bursting
Ohyou know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it.
They say lose your inhibitionsfollow your own ambitions
They talk about a life of brotherly loveshow me someone who knows how to
live it. There s a slowslow train comin up around the bend.
Wellmy baby went to Illinois with some bad-talkin boy she could destroy
A real suicide casebut there was nothin I could do to stop it
I don t care about economyI don t care about astronomy
But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets
There s a slowslow train comin up around the bend.
