Slow Train To Paradise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's an uptight world out up there
And only the strong survives
You can get burn just like that
The minute you've turned your back
But I can play the game
When that's what I have to do
I know just what to say
I gotta real smooth style
I gotta a winning smile
But when I'm with you
I have got nothing to prove
I'm on a slow train to paradise
I can be myself (be myself)
Oh, get relaxed
'Cause I know you're on my side
I can lay back
I can just relax
'Cause I know I'm save with you
I can close my eyes
With your hand in mine
On a slow train to paradise
But when I'm back on the street
All that begins all over again (all over again)
People part their windows
And unlock their doors
Everywhere I go (everywhere I go)
And I'm just like them
A mountain wind
But it's all that you know
When I get home
The madness will always win
'Cause when I'm with you
I have nothing to prove
I'm on a slow train to paradise
I can be myself and that's all right
'Cause I know you're on my side
I can lay back
I can just relax
'Cause I know I'm save with you
I can close my eyes
With your hand in mine
On a slow train yeah, yeah (slow train to paradise)
'Cause when I'm with you
I have nothing to prove
I'm on a slow train to paradise
I can be myself and that's all right
'Cause I know you're on my side
When I'm with you, you
I'm on a slow train (slow train to paradise)
I can be myself (slow train to paradise)
I'm with you slow train to paradise
I'm with you slow train to paradise
Uhuuu all aboard slow train to paradise
Uhuuu come on get on aboard slow train to paradise
Uhuuu all aboard slow train to paradise
Uhuuu come on get on aboard slow train to paradise
Uhuuu all aboard slow train to paradise
Uhuuu come on get on aboard slow train to paradise
'Cause when I'm with you
I have nothing to prove
I'm on a slow train to paradise
I can be myself and that's all right
I'm on a slow train, slow train, slow train
(I'm on a slow train to paradise)
I'm with you slow train to paradise
I'm with you slow train to paradise
I'm with you slow train to paradise
I'm with you slow train to paradise
