Lexington Slow Down Lyrics

by Mark Lanegan

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e71277-mark_lanegan~lexington_slow_down_lyrics.html ]
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
