Slow Train (Live Nov. 16, 1979)歌词
作词 : Bob Dylan
作曲 : 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 going to have to abandon
There's a 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 a 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 a 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Man's ego is inflated his laws are outdated they don't apply no more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 a 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 nonbelievers and men stealers talking in the name of religion
And there's a slow 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 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 coming
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 the 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 coming up around the bend
Slow train
There's a slow train coming
Slow train
There's a slow train coming
Slow train
There's a slow train coming
Coming coming coming
