I was standing inside the corner

Of my country

When for the first time ever

An airplane came chose to speed over me

The pilot he gave me a secret special hello

He shook his wings at me.

The copilot threw down a cutting from a cut down tree

I guess he did not know,

I cannot cipher I cannot read

And so I did not know

What these men in the sky

Wanted from me

Goddamn I know

Lord Made me slow

Goddamn I know

Lord made me slow

I followed the plane it circled round

it landed on main street of my home town

the pilot and copilot stepped out

and set up shop by the tailpiece

The copilot gets a nod from the pilot

He clears his throat start softly talking he said

We're with the government

and if you want to be part of our nation

We know you soul country people we need your service

Mark of Vaccination

Well he must of caught a cold riding around in all that open air machinery

cause when he was done speechifying

he let out a deep whooping caught

that landed on my arm

well yeah me coming from good manners and good people

Well I just rolled up my sleeve so as not to cause him any shame.

and then The copilot looks at me and he says this right here,

Well boy I guess you's going to be the first to volunteer

And I says, Why, is there going to be some fighting

Oh, theres going to be some fighting all right

Then the copilot and pilot they looked at eachother and laughed just a little bit

And when I think about it, I think they might have been laughing at me

But I really dont' know

Cause I'm just so goddamn slow.

Goddamn I know

Lord Made me slow

goddamn I know

Lord made me slow

And then the copilot rips out this horse sized needle

and he gouges me in the arm

Well it was just below my sleeve roll

And the pain it knocked me down to my business end

yeah well then my cousin came and ripped the hypodermic out of my muscle

And turned his revenge upon the men

And though I had much pain, I had to laught

Because he hypodermicized their tyres

Now the high falootin government machine is moving as slow as me

Now the high falootin government machine is moving as slow as me

All across the nation

all across this great nation

moving as slow as me

Goddamn I know

lord made me slow(4x)

Lord made me slow.
