Joe Attwood and I recorded about 40 bluegrass songs that I had written for the regional bands we performed in Northwest Florida. Most of the song files were corrupted but I have been able to salvage a few of those...thankfully.
This is the last of the files still in good condition.....I hope you enjoy.....
Slow Train
Peggy Attwood Mack
February 22, 2011
In the early morning hours
Of a brand new day
I’ll be packing up my bags
Movin’ on my way
I’ll be catchin’ me a ride
On a slow train, today
On that slow train
Takin’ me away.
Every mile will get me farther
From the dreams that fell apart
Not a penny to my name
But I’ve got a broken heart
I’ll be catchin’ me a ride
On a slow train, today
On that slow train
Takin’ me away.
Mandolin/harp
Every mile will bring me closer
To the dreams I held before
I’m not looking back again
Once I walk out of your door.
I’ll be catchin’ me a ride
On a slow train, today
On that slow train
Takin’ me away.
Banjo break
In the early morning hours
Of a brand new day
I’ll be packing up my bags
Movin’ on my way
I’ll be catchin’ me a ride
On a slow train, today
On that slow train
Slow train
That slow train
Takin’ me away.
