Mark Lanegan - Lexington Slow Down lyrics

(Lanegan, Richards)

Won't break my heart

I won't hope to die

If before Lexington I could slow down

They say a chariot's waiting when you get cut loose

Let the place start swinging

When it's me on the noose

Mother do you think that your children cry

Because they want to shake your chain?

I walked miles today

One for every year of my life

In this stinking fucking rain

Just to slow down

So I could slow down

So I could slow down

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

I don't mind being stoned

They say Jesus was

And I like being alone

And I can take living low

Forgive my being cruel if ever I was

And say a word for me too

When I'm under the gun

It wouldn't break my heart

If I could slow down

Let the place start swinging

If there's a chariot waiting

It wouldn't break my heart

If I could slow down

Let the place start swinging

If there's a chariot waiting

It wouldn't break my heart
