Slow Train - Live at the Warfield Theatre, San Francisco, CA - November 16, 1979

It's called Slow Train Comin'
 It's been comin' a long time, and it's picking up speed
 ♪
 Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
 Can't help but wonder what's happenin' to my companions
 Are they lost or are they found
 Have they counted the cost, it'll take to bring down
 All their earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon
 And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
 I had a woman, down in Alabama
 She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was realistic
 She said, "Boy, without a doubt
 Have to quit your mess and straighten out
 You could die down here, be another accident statistic"
 But there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
 (A slow train coming) all that foreign oil controlling American soil
 Look around you, it's just bound to make you embarrassed
 Sheiks walkin' around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings
 Deciding America's future from Amsterdam and to Paris
 But there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
 ♪
 Man's ego is inflated
 He knew his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
 You can't rely no more to be standin' around waitin'
 In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
 Fools glorify themselves, trying to manipulate Satan
 And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
 Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters
 Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
 But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency
 All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
 But there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
 People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting
 You know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it
 They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions
 They talk about a life of brotherly love
 Show me someone who knows how to live it
 But there's a slow, slow train comin'
 ♪
 Slow train comin'
 Well, my baby went to Illinois
 With some bad-talkin' boy, she could destroy
 A real suicide case, but there was nothin' I could do to stop it
 I don't care about economy, I don't care about astronomy
 But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets
 But there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
 Up around the bend
 Slow train, there's a slow train coming
 Slow train, there's a slow train coming
 Slow train, there's a slow train coming
 Coming
 Coming
 Coming, yeah
