SLOW MOVING FREIGHT TRAIN Hugh Moffatt/Song Media c/o Multimedia Music Group/BMI
I woke up this mornin' in the back of my Chevy again. As broke and alone as I think that I ever have been. No matter how I play these big city games I can't win. Goin' back where a man still has meanin' and a friend is a friend.
Give me a long, slow movin' freight train. Don't want a fast, high flyin' airplane. Sing me a slow, lonesome old love song, before too long, I'll be long gone.
Gonna pack up my suitcase and call up a few friends I know. And I'll saddle that Chevy and drive her 'till she just won't go. Then I'll catch me a slow freight that's headed for God only knows. And forget all this livin' too fast and dyin' too slow.
Give me a long, slow movin' freight train. Don't want a fast, high flyin' airplane. Sing me a slow, lonesome old love song, before too long, I'll be long gone.
