SLOW TRAIN
[ country blues; co-written by Daniel Muhammad ]


Slow train, comin’ down that freedom track
Slow train, comin’ on down that freedom track
Don’t need money in your sack, fancy suit on your back
Ride the slow train

Slow train, all God’s children ride for free
Slow train, God’s children get to ride for free
Don’t need no stain glass recipe or a college phd
Ride the slow train

Slow train, hop on up while we still can
Slow train, best hop on board while we still can
Just call on the name of a sinner's only friend
Ride the slow train
(come on an' ride now, y'all)

Slow train, fire an’ smoke comin’ out the stack
Oh, slow train, fire an’ smoke comin' out that stack
Headin’ down the history track, ain’t nev'a comin’ back
Climb on the slow train

Slow train, comin’ down that freedom track
Oh, slow train, comin’ on down that freedom track
Don’t need no bread in your sack, fancy suit on your back
Ride the slow train

Yeah, don’t need no degree, theology or fame
Ride the slow train
(Slow train) *


* Concept inspired by American songwriter/artist Bob Dylan.
