Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every morning, 'bout half past eight
My mama wakes me, says don't be late
Get to the office, tryna concentrate
My life is just a slow train crawlin' up a hill
[Verse 2]
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 crawlin' up a hill
[Verse 3]
Minute after minute, second after second
Hour after hour goes by
Workin' for a rich girl, stayin' just a poor girl
Never stop to wonder why
[Verse 4]
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 crawlin' up a hill
[Verse 5]
Every morning, 'bout half past eight
My mama wakes me, says don't be late
I get to the office, tryna concentrate
My life is just a slow train crawlin' up a hill
[Verse 6]
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 crawlin' up a hill
[Verse 7]
Minute after minute, second after second
Hour after hour goes by
Workin' for a rich girl, stayin' just a poor girl
Never stop to wonder why
[Verse 8]
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
Life is just a slow train, oh
Oh, ooh
[Verse 9]
So, so, 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
