Lexington Slow Down

Won't break my heart

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

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

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

Wouldn't break my heart
