Hold On Slow John Lyrics

Hold On Slow John lyrics

All the locks are broken 



Everything's been stolen 



Hold on, Slow John 



All she left you was a slogan 



 



Now your heart is breaking 



Lonesome and forsaken 



Hold on, Slow John 



There's always a chance 



For the taking 



Hey now, two is a crowd 



Plus that's what you get 



For dogging around 



 



Nothing I can say to you 



Will return her grace to you 



Nothing I can do for you now 



Remember when you couldn't wait 



To get out of the starting gate 



Well, that all seems like history now 



 



Trucks along the highway 



No one's going your way 



Inside a crippled car 



Celibate stars 



You wonder if anyone's noticed 



You're gone 



So hold on, Slow John 



There's no getting used 



To the taste of a gun 



 



Looking for the silver lining 



Where's the fucking happy ending 



Words reverberate and then decay 



There's no need to say you're sorry 



Cause you know that she ain't sorry 



She just shut the door and walked away
