The Bones Of J.R. Jones - Slow Lightning Lyrics

The Bones Of J.R. Jones Lyrics

"Slow Lightning"

Well now I see
Slow lightning ain't for me
All the coyotes and the banshees
Never cared about me

Going to take it slow
From here on out
Cause I ain't the one
You son of a gun
And I'm tired of running alone

The party is over
That's what they'll say
They'll turn the light on
And say you can't stay
I'm just waiting for someone
Someone to call a friend
Someone to keep me warm
Someone to call my bluffs
Someone to let me in

I'm just tired of myself
So tired of coming up short
All my bullshit
Has led me to this
And I don't want it no more

I'm gonna settle down
Gonna find my wife
Someone to put up with me
Someone to help me believe
There's a different kind of life

The party is over
That's what they'll say
They'll turn the light up
And say you can't stay
I'm just waiting for someone
Someone to call a friend
Someone to keep me warm
Someone to call my bluffs
Someone to let me in

Someone to put up with me
Someone to help me believe
There's a different kind of life
