Slow Boat

The river is wide, deeper than deep

On one side they're cryin', on the other they're asleep

And it's all a dream, 'least it seems like to me

Might never wake up, listen to the steam

As the big wheel turns, are we headed up stream?

The fog's too thick to really see

All I know is I still float

Slow boat

Slow boat

I got my coat, I brought my chaps

In case we land I'm gonna need 'em for that

'Cause there might be a horse, I might need to ride

Carry your message, carry the flag

To where we're goin' or am I goin' alone?

Are you there? Pick up the phone

I can't make out what you wrote

Slow boat

Slow boat

All I know is I still float

All I know

I don't know
