Lost in a dream, wore no confection
I don't need to [??? my direction]
Walking out alone [???] [sue me]
And I do not believe it's gonna get any wonder
Yes there's a slow, slow train coming, up around the bend
I [ain't blind to seeing] you, you knew you thought I was blind
And I know what you telling me cause you couldn't make up your mind
Now it's all for, but for better, and I know for goodness' sake
Now that load you can be thinking that you made some kind of mistake
Cause there's a slow, slow train coming, around the bend
Yes there's a slow, slow train coming, around the bend
Now there's a slow, slow train coming, around the bend
Yes there's a slow, slow train coming up around the bend
3 May 1979, Sheffield, Alabama, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. 4th Slow Train Coming session, Released on Slow Train Coming
Sometimes, feel so low-down and disgusted
Can't help but wonder what's happening to my companions
Are they lost or are they found, have they counted the cost it'll take to bring down
All their earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
I had a woman down in Alabama
She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was realistic
She said, boy, without a doubt, have to quit your mess and straighten out
You could die down here, be just another accident statistic
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
All that foreign oil, controlling American soil
Look around you, it's just bound to make you embarrassed
Sheiks walkin' around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings
Deciding America's future from Amsterdam and to Paris
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
Man's ego's inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
You can't rely no more to be standing' around waiting
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turning' over in his grave
Fools glorify themselves, trying to manipulate Satan
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters
Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency
All non-believers and men stealers talking' in the name of religion
And there's a slow, there's a slow train comin' up around the bend
People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting
Oh, you know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it
They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions
They talk about a life of brotherly love, show me someone who knows how to live it
There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
Well, my baby went to Illinois with some bad-talking boy she could destroy
A real suicide case, but there was nothin' I could do to stop it
I don't care about economy, I don't care about astronomy
But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend

Take me and leave me and hold to my hand, heavenly father help me understand
Take me and leave me and hold to my hand, heavenly father help me understand
Friends I like to tell you a story about a family I once knew
We call them William and Mary and their little daughter Sue
Little Sue, eh Mary was just an average housewife but Bill was just a usual dad
And the had their little family arguments but neither one ever got mad
Then one day something happened, it was [nothing] of course
But one word led to another, and the last word led to a divorce
Now here's two grown up people who failed to use common sense
The straightened their own selfish [path] at little Sue's expense
You know she didn't ask to be brought to this world, to drift from pillar to post
But a divorce never stops to come to consider the one that is hurting the most
There'll be a lot more earnest loving in this cruel world today
If just e few parting parents could hear little Sue say
Take me and leave me and hold to my hand, heavenly father help me understand
Take me and leave me and hold to my hand, heavenly father help me understand
Take me and leave me and hold to my hand, heavenly father (help me understand)

Some say it was radiation, some said: acid on the microphone
And some say it was a combination of things that turned their hearts to stone
But whatever it was, it drove them to their knees
Oh, that Legionnaire's disease
I wish I had a dollar for everyone that died within that year
Got 'em grabbed by the collar, and plenty a maiden shed a tear
Now beneath my heart, it sure put on a squeeze
Oh, that Legionnaire's disease, it was Legionnaire's disease
Now beneath my heart, it sure put on a squeeze
Oh, that Legionnaire's disease, it was Legionnaire's disease, it was Legionnaire's disease
Granddad fought in a revolutionary war, father in the War of 1812
Uncle fought down in Vietnam and then he fought a war all by himself
But whatever it was, it hit him like a tree
Oh, that Legionnaire's disease, it was Legionnaire's disease
It was Legionnaire's disease, it was Legionnaire's disease

Second Street and Broadway, stting in a door way, hat held in his hands
Looked to all the world like he was praying
foot wrapped in an old rag, bottle in a brown bag, then I see him try to stand
Then I heard the words that he was saying
He said come on Carrie, carry me a little farther, come on Carrie, carry me one more mile
I don't know where it's leading to but I know I can make it if I lean on you
So come on Carrie, carry me a little, I carried you, now carry me a little
Come on Carrie, carry me a little while
Struggled to his feet, staggered down the street to the window of five-and-dime
He stood and laughed at his reflection and then I heard him shoutin'
Something about that mountain that he could surely climb
If always she was pointing the direction
He said, Come on Carrie, carry me a little farther, come on Carrie, carry me one more mile
Well I don't know where it's leading to but I can make it if I lean on you
So come on Carrie, carry me a little
I carried you, now carry me a little, come on Carrie, carry me a little while

Each night as I watched TV
I'd teasingly call her Chatterbox
Then she said one evening, Don't be scared
I see an angel on the stairs
Daddy, can you hear the angel talk
One more year of lollipops, ice cream cones and soda pop
One more year of Daddy's little girl
One more year of Crackerjacks, bubble gum and sugar smacks

I got to know, Lord, when to pull back on the reins
Death can be the result of the most underrated pain
Satan whispers to you, Well, I don't want to bore you
When you get tired of that Miss So-and-so I got another woman for you
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind, Lord, take away this trouble in mind
Well the deeds that you do they don't add up to zero
It's what's inside that counts, ask any war hero
You think you can hide but you're never alone
Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind, Lord, take away this trouble in mind
Well, here comes Satan, prince of the power of the air
He's gonna make you think he don't exist, he's gonna make a bird's nest in your hair
He'll make you a [law] unto yourself and make you worship the work of your own hands
Until you'll be serving strangers in a strange forsaken land
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind, Lord, take away this trouble in mind
Now, your true love has caught you where you do not belong
You say, everybody's doing it so I guess it can't be wrong
The truth is far from you, so you conveniently lie
Then you're all the time defending what you can never justify
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind, Lord, take away this trouble in mind
So many of my brothers, they still want to be the boss
They can't relate to the Lord's kingdom, they can't relate to the cross
They self-inflict punishment on their own broken lives
Put their faith in their possessions, in their jobs or their wives
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind, Lord, take away this trouble in mind
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked
Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed
Lord keep my blind side covered, see that I don't bleed
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind, Lord, take away this trouble in mind

When a man he serves the Lord, it makes his life worthwhile
It don't matter about his position, it don't matter about his lifestyle
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
And there ain't no man that's righteous, no not one
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood
He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good
Some like to worship the moon, others worship the sun
And there ain't no man that's righteous, no not one
Look around, you see so many social hypocrites
Making rules for others while they do just the opposite
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag
In a city of darkness there's no need of the sun
And there ain't no man that's righteous, no not one
Done so many evil things in the name of love that it's a crying shame
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame
Pull your hat down, baby, pull the wool down over your eyes
Keep talking, baby, 'til you run right out of alibis
Someday you'll account for the deeds that you done
Well, there ain't no man that's righteous, no not one
God got the power, man has got his vanity
Man gotta choose to let God set him free
Don’t you know there’s nothing new that’s under the sun
And then there ain’t no man that's righteous, no not one
When I’m gone don’t wonder where I be
Just say that I trusted in God and that Christ was in me
Say He defeated the devil, He was God’s chosen Son
And that there ain’t no man that's righteous, no not one

Precious angel, under the sun
How was I to know you'd be the one
To show me I was blinded, to show me I was gone
How weak was the foundation I was standing upon
Now there's spiritual warfare, flesh and blood breaking down
You either got faith or you got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground
The enemy is subtle, how be it we are so deceived
When the truth 's in our hearts and we still don't believe
Shine your light, shine your light on me, shine your light, shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine your light on me, You know I just couldn't make it by myself, I'm a little too blind to see
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell
They look me squarely in the eye and they say, well, all is well
Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high
When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die
Sister, let me tell you about a vision I saw
You were drawing water for your husband, you were suffering under the law
You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling him about Mohammed in one breath
You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal's death
Shine your light, shine your light on me, shine your light, shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine your light on me, You know I just couldn't make it by myself, I'm a little too blind to see
Precious angel, you believe me when I say
What God has given to us no man can take away
We are covered in blood, girl, you know both our forefathers were slaves
Let us hope they've found mercy in their bone-filled graves
You're the queen of my flesh, girl, you're my woman, you're my delight
You're the lamp of my soul, girl, and you torch up the night
But there's violence in the eyes, girl, so let us not be enticed
On the way out of Egypt, through Ethiopia, to the judgment hall of Christ
Shine your light, shine your light on me, shine your light, shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine your light on me, You know I just couldn't make it by myself, I'm a little too blind to see

You harbor resentment
You know there ain’t too much of a thrill
You wish for contentment
But you got an emptiness that can’t be filled
You’ve had enough of hatred
Your bones are breaking, can’t find nothing sacred
Ye shall be changed, ye shall be changed
In a twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet blows
The dead will arise and burst out of your clothes
And ye shall be changed
Everything you’ve gotten
You’ve gotten by sweat, blood and muscle
From early in the morning ’til way past dark
All you ever do is hustle
All your loved ones have walked out the door
You’re not even sure about your wife and kids no more, but
Ye shall be changed, ye shall be changed
In a twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet blows
The dead will arise and burst out of your clothes
And ye shall be changed
The past don’t control you
But the future’s like a roulette wheel spinning
Deep down inside
You know you need a whole new beginning
Don’t have to go to Russia or Iran
Just surrender to God and He’ll move you right here where you stand, and
Ye shall be changed, ye shall be changed
In a twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet blows
The dead will arise and burst out of your clothes
And ye shall be changed
You drink bitter water
And you been eating the bread of sorrow
Can’t live for today
When all you’re thinking of is tomorrow
The path you’ve endured has been rough
When you’ve decided that you’ve had enough
Ye shall be changed, ye shall be changed
In a twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet blows
The dead will arise and burst out of your clothes
And ye shall be changed
Ye shall be changed. 790502

For all those who have eyes and all those who have ears
It is only He who can reduce me to tears
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Like a thief in the night, He'll replace wrong with right
When He returns
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
He unleashed His power at an unknown hour that no one knew
How long can I listen to the lies of prejudice
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness
Can I cast it aside, all this loyalty and this pride, will I ever learn
That there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease
Until He returns
Surrender your crown on this blood-stained ground, take off your mask
He sees your deeds, He knows your needs even before you ask

How long can you hate yourself for the weakness you conceal
Of every earthly plan that be known to man, He is unconcerned
He's got plans of His own to set up His throne
