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
