When LEONARD finally came to California He was twenty-one years old as I recall He loved to write a song and pick the guitar And he came to hang a Gold one on the wall. The town in which he lived is not important But you'll know which town I mean by the time I'm thru He soon became a famous entertainer But LEONARD was a name he never used He was on his way to having what he wanted Just about as close as one could be Hey! once he even followed Elvis Presley And he wrote a lot of country songs for me. But he laid it all aside to follow Jesus For years he chose to let his music go But preaching wasn't really meant for LEONARD But how in the hell was LEONARD s'posed to know. Well, life began to twist its way around him And I wondered how he carried such a load He came back again to try his luck in music And lost his wife and family on the road. SPOKEN: (After that he seemed to bog down even deeper And I saw what booze and pills could really do And I wondered if I'd ever see him sober But I forgot about a Friend that LEONARD knew.) Well, LEONARD gave me lots of inspiration He helped teach me how to write a country song And he even brought around a bag of groceries Hey! back before Muskogee came along. Really I'm not trying to hide his showname Or the town in which this episode began SPOKEN: (Somehow I had to write a song for old Tommy) If just to see the smilin' faces in the band. When LEONARD finally came to California He was twenty-one years old as I recall And he loved to write a song and pick the guitar And he came to hang a Gold one on the wall.

I set out one night When the tide was low There were signs in the sky But I did not know I'd be caught in the grip Of the undertow Ditched on a beach Where the sea hates to go With a child in my arms And a chill in my soul And my heart the shape Of a begging bowl I set out one night But I did not know I'd be caught in the grip Of the undertow Ditched on a beach Where the sea hates to go With a child in my arms And a chill in my soul And my heart the shape Of a begging bowl

I'm slowing down the tune I've never liked it fast You wanna get there soon I wanna get there last It's not because I'm old It's not the life I led I always liked it slow That's what my Mamma said I'm lacing up my shoes But I don't want to run I'll get there when I do Don't need no starting gun It's not because I'm old And it's not what dying does I've always liked it slow Slow is in my blood I've always liked it slow I never liked it fast With you it's got to go With me it's got to last It's not because I'm old It's not because I'm dead I've always liked it slow That's what my Mamma said All your moves are swift All your turns are tight Let me catch my breath I thought we had all night I like to take my time I like to linger as it flies A weekend on your lips A lifetime in your eyes I've always liked it slow I never liked it fast With you it's got to go With me it's got to last It's not because I'm old It's not the life I led I've always liked it slow That's what my Mamma said I'm slowing down the tune I've never liked it fast You wanna get there soon I wanna get there last So, baby let me go You're wanted back in town In case they want to know I'm just trying to slow it down

I needed you, I knew I was in danger Of losing what I used to think was mine You let me love you 'til I was a failure You let me love you 'til I was a failure Your beauty on my bruise like iodine I asked you if a man could be forgiven And though I failed at love, was this a crime? You said, "Don't worry, don't worry, darling" You said, "Don't worry, don't you worry, darling There are many ways a man can serve his time" You covered up that place I could not master It wasn't dark enough to shut my eyes So I was with you, oh sweet compassion Yes I was with you, oh sweet compassion Compassion with the sting of iodine Your saintly kisses reeked of iodine Your fragrance with a fume of iodine And pity in the room like iodine My masquerade of trust was iodine And everywhere the flare of iodine Yes, it started with the flare of iodine
