Lyrics
Whistle-Stop Town
Left home when the house burned down
Started running and never slowed down
Just tryin’ to get away
Shadows on a store front wall
Never stay and never fall
‘Til I saw you in a crystal ball
And you were facing the other way
Sayin’
CHORUS
Baby, slow down awhile
You never speak, never crack a smile
Pretty sure you’re gonna run a mile
When you hear what I’ve got to say
Mama left and never got found
Pretty sure she’s underneath the ground
Daddy blamed me when he came around
Just a couple of times a year
River sliding over shiny stones
Sun bleaching out a pile of bones
These images never leave me alone
And the answers are never clear
CHORUS
Baby, slow down and stay
We’ll never talk about it anyway
Leave all the answers for another day
I can tell by the look in your face
Born in a whistle-stop town
Been runnin’ ‘til you made me slow down
I had to trust you or I might’ve drown
Got buried or just crawled away
CHORUS
Baby, slow down and stay
We better talk about it anyway
Fall on your knees and better pray
‘Til the pieces fall into place
