Slow Train Outta Nowhere

Slow Train Outta Nowhere
Don’t know how I got there
Ridin’ rails and time in jails
Man, I’ve been everywhere
Sometimes so gentle on my mind
I have to stop and stare
Heading somewhere down the line
On the Slow Train Outta Nowhere

Slow train out of nowhere
Left a brown eyed girl out there
With the sun in her eyes
And flowers in her hair
Stayed together for a time
Found a rhythm and a rhyme
Blue note backbeat in the air
On the Slow Train Outta Nowhere

Southbound out of Allensworth
A whistle stop, for what it’s worth
Another town, another show
Another road to I don’t know
Silent moon in afterglow
When it’s time for me to go
Woman gone and all alone
Nowhere that I can call Home

CHORUS:
Slow Train Outta Nowhere
Hear that whistle blow
Slow Train Outta Nowhere
Take me somewhere that I know
Get me there by mornin’
Goodbye Central California
Slow Train Outta Nowhere
Come on and take me Home

I’ve been way out here so long
Sometimes right, forever wrong
Maybe you can sing along
Cuz it’s just another song
On the road to play the Blues
I ain’t got no blue suede shoes
Main Street Player in exile
Make ‘em cry and make ‘em smile

If you walk a mile with me
Ride in style in my RV
I’ll show you this whole country
I will be your family
When it’s time for us to go
Red lights on before the show
Kiss me once and say goodbye
I promise you that I won’t cry

I’ll remember you my friend
The 2 of us will meet again
Somewhere down around the bend
Farewell my love until then.
I’m back on the platform
And I’m waiting for the train
Singing like no one can hear
My sweet and sad refrain

I know you can hear me
My song is everywhere
Another long and lonely night
On the Slow Train Outta Nowhere
One last kiss goodnight
In the summer pale moonlight
Soon I will be there
On the Slow Train Outta Nowhere

CHORUS:
Slow Train Outta Nowhere
Hear that whistle blow
Slow Train Outta Nowhere
Take me somewhere that I know
Get me there by mornin’
Goodbye Central California
Slow Train Outta Nowhere
Come on and take me Home
