Not a single tab on UG. Good song, whether or not
if you agree with the lyrics.
-----------------------------------------------------------
AmSometimes I feel so low-down and disAmgusted
Can't help but Dmwonder what's happenin' to my comAmpanions,
Are they Amlost or are they found,
have they counted the cost it'll take to bring down
DmAll their earthly principles they're gonna have to aAmbandon?
There's a Fslow, slow train Dmcomin' up around the Ambend.
AmI had a woman down in Alabama,
She was a baDmckwoods girl, but she sure was realisAmtic,
She said, "Boy, without a doubt, have to quit your mess and straighten out,
You could dDmie down here, be just another accident sAmtatistic."
There's a Fslow, slow train Dmcomin' up around the Ambend.
AmAll that foreign oil controlling American soil,
Look around Dmyou, it's just bound to make you embarrasAmsed.
Sheiks walkin' around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings,
DecidDming America's future from Amsterdam and to PaAmris
There's a Fslow, slow train Dmcomin' up around the Ambend.
AmMan's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apDmply no more,
You can't rely no more to be standin' around waAmitin'
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave,
DmFools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate SAmatan
There's a Fslow, slow train Dmcomin' up around the Ambend.
AmBig-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters,
DmMasters of the bluff and masters of the propositAmion
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,
All nonDm-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of reAmligion
There's a Fslow, slow train Dmcomin' up around the Ambend.
AmPeople starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting
Oh, you know it Dmcosts more to store the food than it do to giAmve it.
They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions,
They talk about a life of bDmrotherly love, show me someone who knows how to
Amlive it.
There's a Fslow, slow train Dmcomin' up around the Ambend.
AmWell, my baby went to Illinois with some bad-talkin' boy she could destroy
A real Dmsuicide case, but there was nothin' I could do to stop Amit,
I don't care about economy, I don't care about astronomy
But it sure Dmdo bother me to see my loved ones turning into pAmuppets,
There's a Fslow, slow train Dmcomin' up around the Ambend.
