Slow Train Lyrics
by Status Quo
Slow Train Status quo taken from a status quo website go to google it's the first one.
I can't afford a ticket on an old Dakota Airplane,
H|-13b15-13b15------------------13b15-13b15--------|
Gotta jump on a ride on a cattle trucking slow train.
H|-13b15-13b15------------------13b15-13b15--------|
Guess it doesn't matter,
H
As long as I can get my head down in the sun.
I wrote a rocking song, Gonna sing it at the station,
H
H|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--4--0-|
Finish all the words when I reach my destination.
H
H|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--4--0-|
Guess it doesn't matter,
H
As long as I can get my head down in the sun.
Hey mamma, please now don't you fret none,
Don't worry please don't you forget.
Hey mamma please don't get upset none,
H
Gotta leave and find me something better.
Hey Mamma, things are gonna work out fine now,
Believe me need for you to write.
Hey Mamma, things are gonna work out fine now,
H
I've got a friend said that she'd invite me.
I came here in the morning,
And I crept out in the middle of the night.
I gave nobody warning I was leaving,
And felt it was right.
H
Now I'm off again,
And it sure is feeling alright.
Got a feeling that I'm leaving
with a ticket and I won't jump a ride
It's no good you believing
that my leaving was a-wrong, it was right
H
Now I'm off again,
And it sure is feeling alright.

I can't afford a ticket on an old Dakota airplane,
I gotta jump a ride on a cattle trucking slow train.
H
I guess it doesn't matter,
As long as I can get my head down in the sun.
I wrote a rocking song, gonna sing it at the station,
I'll finish all the words when I reach my destination.
H
I guess it doesn't matter,
As long as I can get my head down in the sun.
H
I guess it doesn't matter,
As long as I can get my head down in the sun.
H
I guess it doesn't matter,
As long as I can get my head down in the sun.
