Lyrics
Bring Me Down Slow
I just felt like drivin', I was feeling alright
Helped Jimmy close the shop, just another Saturday night
You said you was working the evening shift downtown
Maybe see me at The Grill
Turned down 6th street, twist in my gut
Something don't feel right, somethin's up
Light's on in your window, two shadows in a squeeze
Oh Lord, Bring me down slow , please
Chorus
You know I can't take it
Bring me down slow
You know I won't make it
Bring me down slow
I can't stop driving, can't stop the pictures in my head
Can't make out the traffic lights, everything is red
Ashtray full of soldiers, windows at half mast
Left my soul in Harry's bar, probably end up in the trash
Who'd of believed you'd leave me, play me for the fool
Act like nothings happening, screw the golden rule
I'm broken in the middle, bleeding from the side
Tried to give away my car keys, but I can't get off this ride
Chorus
You know I can't take it
Bring me down slow
You know I won't make it
Bring me down slow
