Oh never mind that I'm gonna go downtown
I've got a two dollar bill and a girl who hangs around

Well, it's a slow walk
Oh it's a slow walk
Oh it's a slow walk
From the bottom to the top

Now my old man says I ain't been the same
Since that bad-time feeling got into my brain

Well, it's a slow walk
Oh it's a slow walk
Oh it's a slow walk
From the bottom to the top

You stick the needle in your arm and your baby starts crying
Stick the needle in your arm, well there ain't no denying

That it's a slow walk
Oh it's a slow walk
Oh it's a slow walk
From the bottom to the top

Now I ain't as bright as the sun when it shines
When you say you forgive me, start to believe
That it's a lie, it's a lie, oh it's a lie
Oh but never mind that, I'm gonna go downtown
I've got a two dollar bill and a girl that hangs around

Well it's a slow walk
Oh it's a slow walk
Oh it's a slow walk
From the bottom to the top
