Story Behind The Song
I got the idea for the piano line about a month ago and built the melody around it but I didn't have an idea about the lyrics. Shortly after that, I was traveling and stayed at a hotel. During the night, I heard a train whistle blow, followed by the slow chug, chug, chug/ chug, chug, chug of the train. The train going by gave me the title and story for the song.

Lyrics
Slow Train

VERSE 1
We're headed down these tracks
We won't look back
You and me, each other's
Perfect company
And I've found that love, love, love's
Our common ground
CHORUS
Your love, yes your love
Your love, your love is like a slow train
Your love is like a slow train
Steady, steady like a slow train
VERSE 2
Well, I'm on board
I've got my seat
Here, next to you
The feeling's warm and sweet
The train rocks to and fro
I feel the rhythm everywhere we go
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3
Doesn't matter where
Where we're bound
One thing is clear
It's you, I want to be around
And I'm not worried about the station
Cause your heart, your heart is my destination
REPEAT CHORUS & OUTRO
