Slow Train

Slow Train - Bob Dylan

Sometimes I 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

There's slow slow train coming up around the bend

I had a woman down in Alabama

She was a backwoods girl but she sure was realistic

She said Boy without a doubt have to quit

Your mess and straighten out

You could die down here be just another accident statistic

There's slow slow train coming up around the bend

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 to Paris

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

Man's ego is inflated his laws are outdated

They don't apply no more

You can't rely no more to be standing around waiting

In the home of the brave

Jefferson turning over in his grave

Fools glorifying themselves trying to manipulate Satan

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

Big-time negotiators false 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

Talking in the name of religion

And there's slow there's slow train coming up

Around the bend

People starving and thirsting grain elevators are bursting

Oh you know it costs more to store the food

Than it do to give it

They say loose your inhibitions follow your own ambitions

They talk about a life of brotherly love

Show me someone who knows how to live it

There's slow slow train coming up around the bend

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 to see my

Loved ones turning into puppets

There's slow slow train coming up around the bend
