Slow Turning

(album: Slow Turning - 1988)

When I was a boy,
I thought it just came to ya'
But I never could tell what's mine
So it didn't matter anyway

My only pride and joy
Was this racket down here
Banging on an old guitar
And singing what I had to say

I always thought our house was haunted
But nobody said boo to me
I never did get what I wanted
Now I get what I need

[Chorus:]
It's been a slow turning
From the inside out
A slow turning
But you come about

Slow learning
But you learn to sway
A slow turning baby
Not fade away

Now I'm in my car
I got the radio on
I'm yelling at the kids in the back seat
'Cause they're banging like Charlie Watts

You think you've come so far
In this one horse town
Then she's laughing that crazy laugh
'Cause you haven't left the parking lot

Time is short and here's the damn thing about it
You're gonna die, gonna die for sure
And you can learn to life with love or without it
But there ain't no cure

There's just a...

[Chorus]
