Slow Train (Live) - Joe Bonamassa

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 found, have they counted the cost it'll take to bring Down All their earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon? There's a slow, slow train comin' 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 a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend. All that foreign oil controlling American soil, Look around you, it's just bound to make you embarrassed. Sheiks walkin' around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings, Deciding America's future from Amsterdam and to Paris And there's a slow, slow train comin' 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 Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more, You can't rely no more to be standin' around waitin' In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave, Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate Satan And there's a slow, slow train comin' 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 talkin' in the name of religion And there's a slow, slow train comin' 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 lose 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 a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend. Well, my baby went to Illinois with some bad-talkin' boy she could destroy 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 But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets, There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend.

Another cracked black top, winding road The more I see, the less I know Everything seem to be tearing me apart One minute I'm up and the next I'm down Got me so turned around Got me running through the dark I wanna take it back to how we used to be When I ran to you and you ran to me With nothing in between You and me Put your arms in mine, turn the lights down low You and I in this place, only we know Look in my eyes, let the world fly by While we keep dancing slow, oh-oh, oh-oh While we keep dancing slow, oh-oh, oh-oh Moving pictures, speeding cars Strange strangers chasing shooting stars Running too fast, nowhere to go All the rust and the broken bells The angry rose and the steeples fell The altar of our love will still be there If we take it back to how we used to be When I ran to you and you ran to me With nothing in between You and me Put your hand in mine, turn the lights down low You and I in this place only we know Look in my eyes, let the world fly by While we keep dancing slow, oh-oh, oh (dancing slow) While we keep dancing slow, oh-oh, oh (dancing slow) If we take it back to how we used to be When I ran to you and you ran to me With nothing in between You and me Put your arms in mine, turn the lights down low You and I in this place only we know Look in my eyes, let the world fly by While we keep dancing slow, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh While we keep dancing slow, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh While we keep dancing slow, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh While we keep dancing slow, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

I'm heartbroken and I'm feelin' low-down I'm sick and tired of the life I live around this old town And I'm gettin' tired of cryin' over you So honey, here's what I'm gonna do I'm takin' the slow train for a long ride I'm gonna stay a long time Losin' an old love, startin' a new life I'm takin' the slow train, leavin' tonight Well, I'm as lonesome as a soul could be I've got to find someone who cares a little bit for me And I'm gettin' tired of goin' down the track Still, honey, I ain't never comin' back I'm takin' the slow train for a long ride I'm gonna stay a long time Losin' an old love, startin' a new life I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight I'm takin' that slow train for a long ride I'm gonna stay a long time Losin' an old love, startin' a new life I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight

She won't drive a Cadillac unless it's new She says gold is just a place to put my jewel I work double shifts for one more pair of shoes This livin' easy's getting hard to do My daddy said never spend more than you make And that advice I've always tried to take 'Til the day you walked into the room Now livin' easy's getting hard to do Keep it simple Man I'm trying Start out lovin' End up cryin' Loan me a dollar Some common sense Can't pay these credit cards on good looks and regrets Put a million in the bank but you need two Cause a man's gotta do what he's gotta do I'm going back to bustin' ass and singing blues This livin easy's getting hard to do Keep it simple Man I'm tryin' Start out lovin' End up cryin' Loan me a dollar Some common sense Can't pay these credit cards on good looks and regrets Put a tombstone in the back yard one day Hand carved under my name it will say Here lies a man who found out far too soon This livin' easy's gotten way too hard to do 'Til the day that you walked into the room This livin easy's getting hard to do
