I'm heartbroken and I'm feelin' low-down

I'm sick and tired of the life I live around this old town

And I'm gettin' tired of cryin' over you

So honey, here's what I'm gonna do

I'm takin' the slow train for a long ride

I'm gonna stay a long time

Losin' an old love, startin' a new life

I'm takin' the slow train, leavin' tonight

Well, I'm as lonesome as a soul could be

I've got to find someone who cares a little bit for me

And I'm gettin' tired of goin' down the track

Still, honey, I ain't never comin' back

I'm takin' the slow train for a long ride

I'm gonna stay a long time

Losin' an old love, startin' a new life

I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight

I'm takin' that slow train for a long ride

I'm gonna stay a long time

Losin' an old love, startin' a new life

I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight

I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight
