Slow Turning

Slow Turning - John Hiatt
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 baby
But you come about
Slow learnin
But you learn to sway
A slow turnin baby
Not fade away
Not fade away
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
Theres just a slow turnin'
From the inside out
A slow turnin'
But you come about
Slow learnin' baby
But you learn to sway
A slow turnin'
Not fade away
Not fade away
Not fade away
Not fade away
Not fade away
Slow learnin'
a Slow learnin'
a Slow learnin'
just a Slow learnin'
