Capo 1
[Verse]
It's a Cslow, slow Ftrain but it's moving Con
CWell I've got my ticket, so Gdon't, pass me by
C'Cause if I don't get on board, I Gjust might break down and cry
C'Cause I've just got one life to Glive on this earth
Oh, Fget me there, won't you please, conductor Csir
'Cause it's a Cslow, slow Ftrain but it's moving Con
[Chorus]
CWell everybody gets a ticket, Gyou, you and me
CBut it's up to you to catch a ride and that's Ghow it's got to be
CAnd if you want to ride that train to that Gpeaceful, promised land
Oh, you've got to Fgive your heart to Jesus and put your ticket in his Chand
[Outro]
'Cause it's a Cslow, slow Ftrain but it's moving Con
Oh it's a Cslow, slow Ftrain but it's moving Con
