(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
