Slow Turning - John Hiatt
Now here’s a final version of this very nice song by John Hiatt, in the original key.
VERSE 1
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 record down here
Banging on an old guitar, 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
But now I get what I need
CHORUS:
It's been a slow turning … ……from the inside out
A slow turning baby but you come about
A slow learning but you learn to sweat, a hey, hey, hey
A slow turning baby not fade away, not fade away, not fade away
VERSE 2
Now I'm in my car,……… ooh I've got the radio down
Now me yellin' at the kids in the back, cause they're banging like Charlie Watts
You think you come so far in this one horse town
Then she's laughing that crazy laugh, cause you haven't left the parking lot
Time is short, and here's the damned thing about it
You're gonna die, gonna die for sure
You can learn to live with love or without it
But there ain't no cure
CHORUS
There's just a slow turning……….. from the inside out
A slow turning but you come about
A slow learning you learn to sweat, a hey, hey, hey
A slow turning baby not fade away, not fade away, not fade away, not fade away, not
away
