Slow Turning Lyrics
When I was a boy,
I thought it just came to ya'
But I never could tell what's mine
So it didn't matter anyway
My only pride and joy
Was this racket down here
Bangin' on an old guitar
And singin' what I had to say
I always thought our house was haunted
But nobody said boo to me
I never did get what I wanted
Now I get what I need
It's been a slow turnin'
From the inside out
A slow turnin'
But you come about
Slow learnin'
But you learn to sway
A slow turnin' baby
Not fade away
Now I'm in my car
I got the radio on
I'm yellin' at the kids in the back seat
'Cause they're bangin' like Charlie Watts
You think you've come so far
In this one horse town
Then she's laughin' that crazy laugh
'Cause you haven't left the parkin' lot
Time is short and here's the damn thing about it
You're gonna die, gonna die for sure
And you can learn to life with love or without it
But there ain't no cure
There's just a slow turnin'
From the inside out
A slow turnin'
But you come about
I thought it just came to ya'
But I never could tell what's mine
So it didn't matter anyway
Was this racket down here
Bangin' on an old guitar
And singin' what I had to say
But nobody said boo to me
I never did get what I wanted
Now I get what I need
From the inside out
A slow turnin'
But you come about
But you learn to sway
A slow turnin' baby
Not fade away
I got the radio on
I'm yellin' at the kids in the back seat
'Cause they're bangin' like Charlie Watts
In this one horse town
Then she's laughin' that crazy laugh
'Cause you haven't left the parkin' lot
You're gonna die, gonna die for sure
And you can learn to life with love or without it
But there ain't no cure
From the inside out
A slow turnin'
But you come about
