Lexington Slow Down

(Album: Here Comes That Weird Chill - 2003)

Won't break my heart, won't hope to die
Before Lexington could slow down
They say a chariot's waiting
When you get cut loose
The place starts swinging
When it's me on the noose
Mother do you think
That your children cry
Cause they want to shake your chain?
I walked miles today, one for every year of my life
In this stinking fucking rain
Ooh, just to slow down
So I could slow down
So I could slow down, yeah
Work for me luck, just one last time
Spare me a chance, I've wasted mine
Shine on me light, don't you know I would
Reach for you there, if only I could
If I could slow down
If I could slow down
If I could slow down, just slow down
Don't mind being stoned, they said Jesus was
And I like being alone, and I could take living low
Forgive my being cruel, if ever I was
Say a word for me too, when I'm under the gun
Wouldn't break my heart
If I could slow down
Let the place start swinging
There's a chariot waiting
Wouldn't break my heart
If I could slow down
Let the place start swinging
There's a chariot waiting
Wouldn't break my heart
