Lexington Slowdown Lyrics

I've gotten hits every day looking for lyrics to Mark Lanegan's unreleased song, "Lexington Slowdown." I've done my best to transcribe them for the person searching, the rest of you might want to skip this one, though.

Might be right, might be wrong, but here you go...

(spoken)
Break my heart and hope to die
Before Lexington could slow down.
Say a chariot's waiting to be cut loose,
The place starts swinging when it's me on the noose

Mother do you think I let the children cry
Because I want to shake your chain?
Walked miles today, one for every year of my life,
In the stinking fucking rain.
(singing)
Just to slow down
So I could slow down, so I could slow down, yeah...

Look for me, love, just one last time
Spare me a chance, I've wasted mine.
Shine on me, light--don't you know I would
Reach for you there if only I could.

If I could slow down, if I could slow down
If I could slow down, just slow down...

Don't mind bein' stoned, they say Jesus was.
And I like bein' alone, and I can take livin' low.
Forgive my bein' cruel if ever I was,
say a word for me, too, when I'm under the gun.

Wouldn't break my heart, if I could slow down
Let the place start swinging if there's a chariot waitin'
It wouldn't break me heart, if I could slow down
Let the place start swinging if there's a chariot waitin.

It wouldn't break my heart...
