Slow Moving TrainI was standing out back as the sun sank on downI was thinking to myself about a long distant sound How the fury and the flame burned so bright Then blew out and left town on a slow moving train On a slow moving train, from the West to the East With the hopes of a nation of salvation and peace All the people came out and they stood by the tracks As the slow moving train took him back It was the end of the road of a time and a place The end of a dream and sweet youth's smiling face The beginning of a lesson we're still learning today Since he left on the slow moving train On that slow moving train, as he rested in peace 'Cross the mountains and plains from the sea to the sea All the people came out, the men took off their hats As that slow moving train took him back I wonder where would we be, if the bullets had failed If the young men with dreams had somehow prevailed Just a shot from the darkness and the whole world was changed They sent him home on a slow moving train On a slow moving train, from the West to the East With the hopes of a nation of salvation and peace All the people came out and they stood by the tracks As the slow moving train took him back He went home on that slow moving train |
