Long Way Down-Chickenbone Slim-Copyright 2017

Gentle man
set in my ways
cool calm collected
is how I play
like a roadside bomb
she caught me by surprise
heart in my throat
when we locked eyes

You never try
and you’ll never fail
you won’t get shocked
if you don’t touch that rail
but I got hit by the thunderbolt
I was lost but now I’m found
Who’d think a woman could lay you out?
I fell in love but it’s a long way down

Goddess or a vision
I had to look away
cheap sunglasses
couldn’t cut that glare
the hair on my neck
man it stood right up
ice blue eyes
and a thousand yard stare

You never try and you never fail
you won’t get shocked if you don’t touch that rail
but I got hit by the thunderbolt
I was lost but now I’m found
who’d think a woman could lay you out
I fell in love but it’s a long way down

Lips so fine
you want to make her pout
I’m frozen solid
with pinwheel eyes
there’s a chance that I
might forget to breathe
pray lord have mercy
she believes my lies

You never fail and you never learn
put out the fire and you won’t get burned
I got hit by the thunderbolt
I was lost but now I’m found
who’d think a woman could lay you out
I fell in love but it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down
It’s a long way down
It’s a long way down
