Every morning 'bout half past eight,
My mama wakes me says
"Don't be late"
Get to the office tryin' to concentrate,
My life is just a slow train
Crawling up a hill.

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.

Minute after minute,
Second after second,
Hour after hour goes by,
Working for rich girl,
Staying just a poor girl,
Never stop to wonder why.

So here i am in London town,
A better scene I'm gonna be around,
The kind of music that
Won't bring me down
My life is just a slow train
Crawling up a hill.
