Status Quo - Slow Train Lyrics






I can't afford a ticket on an old Dakota airplane
I gotta jump a ride on a cattle-trucking slow train
I guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun

I wrote a rockin' song, gonna sing it at the station
I'll finish all the words when I reach my destination
I guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun

Hey mama, please now don't you fret none
Don't worry, but please don't you forget
Hey mama, please don't get upset none
I gotta leave to find me something better

Hey mama, things gonna work out fine now
Believe me, no need for you to write
Hey mama, things gonna work out fine now
I gotta friend who said that she'd invite me

I came here in the morning and I crept out in the middle of night
I gave nobody warning I was leaving and I felt it was right
Now I'm off again, it sure is feeling all right

Got a feeling that I'm leaving with a ticket and I won't jump a ride
It's no good you believing that my leaving was a wrong, it was right
Now I'm off again, it sure is feeling all right

I can't afford a ticket on an old Dakota airplane
I gotta jump a ride on a cattle-trucking slow train
I guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun

I wrote a rockin' song, gonna sing it at the station
I'll finish all the words when I reach my destination
I guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun
I guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun
I guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun

    Saw Quo many many times in my Youth and could just about manage loosing JC as Pete Kircher looked and played the part well, but when Alan Lancaster was ousted that was the end of the road for me and the end of the the real Quo sound as far as I was concerned, what is all the plinky plinky crap that followed??. This one of my favourite tracks, thanks Original Quo and RIP Rick you were and will remain a Legend and one of the greatest Rythm Guitarist ever in my Book.

    P.... j....

    Haahaa I get you, but .i love Marguerita Time too xxx

    P.... j....

    9 years?

    P.... j....

    Precisely and exactly mate.
    It's all because of the type of person that ROSSI really is.
    Rossi is very lucky that Alan didn't do him physical harm.
    Lancaster said' Don't come within arms reach of me" during the acrimonious split from the band.
    Alan said that losing QUO was "Like having a child abducted"
    If Rossi wanted to do 'crap' songs with Bernie then they should've done them in a 'side project' and tarnished the good name of QUO.
    Margeurita Time is one of the most horrible songs I've ever heard by any artist.
    It's repulsive and disgusting and embarrassing.

  21. G.... L....

    It's a bit Spinal Tap listening back after 40+ years, but I loved this when it - & I - was young.

    No it’s absolutely Quo no Spinal Tap! Totally & originally Quo.

  22. T.... B....

    It was a wish to hear this live👍Saw them 90 gigs but never this brillant song 😪the middle part is FANTASTIC 👏RICK💔

    T.... B....

    T.... B....

    Don't worry, you didn't miss it. They *never* played the full song live. This is one of very few songs that they never played live because it was too hard to get all the complex middle parts right every time.

    Another fun fact: although the solo to "Break the Rules" doesn't sound particularly complex, it's deceptive. So much so that the song was another that Quo could never play live in full because Rossi couldn't do the solo consistently. They have played it live on its own on rare occasions but you'll notice that Rossi never does the guitar solo during the instrumental break; they just jump straight to the keys section.

    T.... B....

    Hätte ich auch gerne live gehört, Tommy.

    The live album..released 1977 is a good example of Quo's best work(imo)...and being live has that extra feel. One of the best live albums ever.

    from their best album, but strangely Francis Rossi dont like it a lot

    g.... s....

    That’s because he’s a knobhead & always will be

    g.... s....

    Probably cos it's mainly parfitt and Lancaster

    @status quo-all Do you need to reply to every comment with your spam?
    What a complete saddo. No doubt you'll do the same to this comment, which will reinforce my opinion.

    g.... s....

    Francis disliked this album because it was largely down to Rick and Nuff, Rick told me that himself one boozy night, Musically Rick and Francis were poles apart and that went on to the end.
