I woke up at the station
Opened up my eyes
The porter told me to wake up
He wasn’t gonna tell me twice
I said I got to get away
From all my misery
He said: “Son, the only way you’re goin’
Is the hell away from me”

That ain’t gonna stop me
That ain’t gonna slow me down
That ain’t gonna stop me
You can’t slow me down
I’m moving straight to Singleton town

So I walked up to the counter
I said: “Look-a-here mr Porter
I don’t mean to fool around
I don’t mean to cause disorder”
He said: “You better disappear”
I said: “No man, gimme that ticket out o’ here
And I sure as hell ain’t no son of yours
I hope I made it clear

That you ain’t gonna stop me
You ain’t gonna slow me down
You can’t slow me down
I’m moving straight to Singleton town”

Now I’m all ready for departure
Staring down the tracks
And I’m thinkin’ by myself: “Keep running man
Running and down look back”
All of a sudden mr Porter shows up
He said: I wouldn’t smile if I was you
All trains headin’ for Singleton
Are delayed, now what you gonna do?”

Well that ain’t gonna stop me
That ain’t gonna slow me down
You can’t slow me down
I’m moving straight to Singleton own
