Verse 1

Every morning bout half past eight,

My Mama wakes me says Dont be late,

Get to the office, tryin to concentrate,

My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

Verse 2

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.

Chorus

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___

Verse 3

So here I am in London town,

A better scene Im gonna be around,

The kind of music that wont bring me down,

My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.
