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.
