Slow Turning - John Hiatt

Now here’s a final version of this very nice song by John Hiatt, in the original key.

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

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

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
