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 starts swinging when it's me on the noose
 Mother, do you think that your children cry
 'Cause they want to shake your chain?
 I walked miles today
 One for every year of my life
 In this stinking, fucking rain
 Oh, 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
 I 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
 There's a chariot waiting
 It wouldn't break my heart
 If I could slow down
 Let the place start swinging
 There's a chariot waiting
 It wouldn't break my heart
