Slow Burn |
||
| 1 | She's a mill-town girl - seen its high-times and its trials | |
| 2 | And she keeps this place alive - don't betray the miles (mmmmhmmmm) | |
| 3 | Whenever I play this old town | |
| 4 | Last cutain call, well, I come around | |
| 5 | I play for her while she closes down | |
| 6 |
And she smiles me that slow burn |
|
| 7 | I've been all around the world - she knows all my tales of glory (no lie) | |
| 8 | And she laughs along for real even though she knows the story (mercy my) | |
| 9 | When the show is over and the doors are shut | |
| 10 | Play her these songs while she's lockin' up | |
| 11 | She sets down here for a final cup | |
| 12 |
And she smiles me that slow burn: |
|
| 13 | "No matter what you do | |
| 14 | "Or what you say | |
| 15 | "Break me in two | |
| 16 | "I'll love you anyway | |
| 17 | "No matter what you say | |
| 18 | "Or what you do | |
| 19 | "Won't turn me away | |
| 20 |
"That's how I love you." |
|
| 21 | She's a mill-town girl - almost everythihg I ever wanted | |
| 22 | But for this crazy life I do - that berings me 'round to where I started (no wonder why) | |
| 23 | We sit together in the growing dawn | |
| 24 | And we laugh and we cry | |
| 25 | And we live and we die | |
| 26 | To the rising sun | |
| 27 | I dream about her when I'm gone | |
| 28 |
And she smiles me that slow burn: |
|
| 29 | "No matter what you do | |
| 30 | "Or what you say | |
| 31 | "Break me in two | |
| 32 | "I'll love you anyway | |
| 33 | "No matter what you say | |
| 18 | "Or what you do | |
| 34 | "Won't turn me away | |
| 35 |
Mmmmhmmmm" |
