Lyrics
MAKE THE TRAIN SLOW DOWN
8 2002 Market Research Music (BMI)
by Kevin Robinson & Todd Giudice
I used to live in Hollywood
The women there, they sure look good
Tried to treat them like I should
Somehow the men misunderstood
{Oh Lord, make the train slow down}
{Oh Lord, make the train slow down}
{Trouble come on me when I hit this town}
{Please, Oh Lord, make the train slow down}
I left home and I ran away
Tried to find a place to stay
Met a fine woman here yesterday
Now her man is on his way
* * *
Every time I turn my head
Some woman=s man, he wants me dead
Can=t imagine what I said
But I need to be somewhere else instead
* * *
Seems like I?m runnin? all the time
(Fast Verse) Trippin? on the rocks by the railroad line
There?s a man with a gun comin? up behind
If I don=t jump I might just be dyin?
* * *
Someday soon I?ll find a home
Where I won?t need to be alone
All the womens there will know my phone
And all their mens will be long gone
{After last verse & chorus, repeat chorus 2x a cappela, then once w/band}
