[Verse 1]
Am Am
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Dm
I can't help but wonder
Am
What's happening to my companions?
Am
Are they lost? Are they found?
Have they counted the cost it'd take to bring down
Dm Am
All the earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon?
[Chorus]
F Dm
And there's a slow (slow) slow train comin' (train)
Am
Up 'round the bend (comin')
[Verse 2]
Am
I had a woman down in Alabama
Dm Am
She was a back-woods girl, but she sure was realistic
She said, "Boy, without a doubt, have to quit your mess and straighten out

Am
Be just another accident statistic"

[Verse 3]
Am
When my baby went to Illinois
With some bad-talkin' boy she could destroy
Dm Am
A real suicide case, but there was nothin' I could do to stop it
I don't care about economy, I don't care about astronomy
Dm Am
But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turnin' into puppets (oh)
[Chorus]
F
'Cause there's a slow (slow)

Slow train comin' (train)
Am

Slow train comin' (train)

Up around the bend (comin')
A slow train comin'

And they bury him with stars

You may be a noisemaker, spiritmaker, heartbreaker, mapmaker

Till you're whatever you clearly learned
