Slow Train Outta Nowhere Words by Douglas Heyes Jr. 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 *****
