Cover art for Slow Slow Tune lyrics by My Morning Jacket

Bought the album, here's the real lyrics from the handbook.

Slow. Not the meter of today but I'm not singing you know anyway this slow slow tune

You. Somewhere in the future listening I hope the present for you's glistening With notes that ring so true This slow slow tune

Slow. Daddy's playing just for you The tempo's right, I'm in a mellow mood This slow slow tune

Gotta radiate the gold (x2) Gotta radiate the gold. Ooh. oh oh

True. Daddy's singin just for you But do you hear him baby anymore? Now that you've outgrown- this slow slow tune Grown with a meter all your own You decide the pace you set the tone The future now you own! The slow slow tune Slow slow tune

@Mac3030 Definitely. I was already listening to the song when I came to this website. I was at the part where Jim says, "Grown, with a meter all your own." I looked at the lyrics to find that line and I didn't see it. It should be changed. I've always remembered that line because it's so original. What a great idea! To use meter, or tempo, as an analogy for age and the independence that comes and goes with it. Genius!
