Lyrics Slow Train - Status Quo
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

I′ll

all
the
words
when
I
reach

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
