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

Staying just a poor man,

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.
