Every morning 'bout half past eight My Moma wakes me says, 'Don't be late' Get to the office, tryin' to concentrate My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill So I stop one day to figure it out I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt To sing the blues that I know about My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill Minute after minute Second after second Hour after hour goes by Working for a rich girl Staying just a poor girl Never stop to wonder why So here I am in London town A better scene, I'm gonna be around The kind of music that won't bring me down My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill Every morning 'bout half past eight My Momma wakes me says, 'Don't be late' I get to the office, tryin' to concentrate My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill So I stop one day to figure it out Quit my job without a shadow of a doubt To sing the blues that I know about My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill Minute after minute Second after second Hour after hour goes by Working for a rich girl Staying just a poor girl Never stop to wonder why So here I am in London town A better scene, I'm gonna be around The kind of music that won't bring me down Life is just a slow train So here I am in London town A better scene I'm gonna be around The kind of music that won't bring me down My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill
