lyrics

This old town ain't the end of the line and it ain't no place nobody wants to go
The train don't even bother to stop you gotta hop off when it starts to slow
But still I go down to the track and I dream about leaving never coming back ..oh...

Come slow train, come slow train, come slow
Come slow train, come slow train, please come slow

Once in awhile I catch the smile of an ancient man they call Hobo Bill
He's been riding the line since the beginning of time an I'm pretty sure he's riding it still
But he never jumps down in this old town though I find myself always wishing that he will

Come slow train, come slow train, come slow
Come slow train, come slow train, please come slow

Well it's been a long time since anyone came and a long time since anybody tried to leave
Being born and dying is the only way in and out sometimes it seems
Where this train will go, I don't know
but still it carries all my dreams

Come slow train, come slow train, come slow
Come slow train, come slow train, please come slow

Whistle once for Mama, whistle twice for Pa and blow three times for my darling Joe
They can try and find me if they start to miss me cause down this track is where I'll go

Come slow train, come slow train, come slow
Come slow train, come slow train, please come slow
