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’a racket down here

Bangin' on an old guitar

And singin' what I had to say

I always thought our house was haunted

'Cause 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

A 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 down

An' I’m a’yellin' at the kids in the back

'Cause they’re bangin' like’a Charlie Watts

You think you 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 live 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

A slow turnin', baby

But you learn to sweat

A slow turnin'

Not fade away (x5)

A slow turnin' (x4)
