I've been on my way for such a long time
Singing the blues
Up and down this road
Seen good times and I've seen bad times sometimes
Boys I want to go back
To the time and place I used to know

Let me ride, ride on a slow train
Carry me home, carry me home

Been out on the street with the brokedown and hungry
Drank wine with kings and queens
Seen right and wrong
Now I'm feeling kind of tired and weary
Wished a slow train
Come and take me home

Let me ride, ride on a slow train

Time will come when my travelling days are over
At the end of this winding road
Where the journey ends
Don't you bury me boys
Just leave me standing at the crossroads
I know a slow train be coming around the bend

Let me ride, ride on a slow train
