Текст песни
Down by the county bridge, Gondola Road
Hauling down to Birmingham the dirty ash-like coal
I shouldn't let him move me on, come sunshine, rain, or drought
'Cause just like the circle says, southern serves the south
Hardships and troubles, Lord, you know I have some
Gettin' older every day and a fair-weather bum
Let me tell you, good people, here it's just about time
Catch a slow train through Georgia and ease a worried mind
40 miles an hour, she's rolling down the line
Greasy rail, red clack trails through the longleaf pines
Anyplace that sunshine falls is where I long to be
Sunshine Southern special drove me to the sea
Hardships and troubles, don't you know I have some?
Gettin' older every day and a fair-weather bum
Let me tell you, good people, here it's just about time
Catch a slow train through Georgia and ease a worried mind
Lord, I wish was livin' day by day someplace down the track
Come on, gal, my old pal, don't you know we'll not look back?
I'll take down this old guitar, I'll play her every day
Like a slow train through Georgia, roll my blues away
Hardships and troubles, don't you know I have some?
Gettin' older every day and a fair-weather bum
Let me tell you, good people, here it's just about time
Catch a slow train through Georgia and ease a worried mind
