Slow train Lyrics

I started out with nothing
Back in Memphis Tennessee
And that's just how I left it
'Cept the girl that married me
And I have done my hard times here
And nothing changes that
But I am through with being a fool
And that's a simple fact

And I don't lie
Damn this slow train

Danger is nothing is no stranger to me
And talk about your hard luck
I find it naturally
Trouble seems to have memorized
A path right to my door
She is such a friend of mine
She don't knock anymore

And I don't lie
Damn this slow train

I had enough troubles in my life
And I'm tired of looking at rain
I know by heart all the bottom land
And I ain't coming back again
Times lean, pick a bone clean
That's mostly what I've known
That ain't no complaint
But can't pretend the miles don't show

And I don't lie
Damn this slow train

Well I was having so many bad times
I knew I had to change
So I bought a one way ticket back
Though know it won't be the same
Well maybe I'm just dreaming
But I hope she remembers me
I guess I will find out
When I get back to Tennessee

If I don't die
And damn this slow train
