Lyrics:

(Lanegan, Richards)

Won't break my heart, won't hope to die
Before Lexington could slow down
They say a chariot's waitin'
When you get cut loose
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
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 livin' low
Forgive my being cruel, if ever I was
Say a word for me too, when I'm under the gun
Wouldn't break my heart
If I could slow down
Let the place start swingin'
There's a chariot waitin'
Wouldn't break my heart
If I could slow down
Let the place start swinging
There's a chariot waitin'
Wouldn't break my heart
