Andy Northrup - Slow Burn Avenue

till she married a man who raised his hand

Thinking that she'd be Daddy's girl

Now she raises up her kids so they'll be just like him

Cause it's her only way to get back at the world

And now she lives on

Slow Burn Avenue,

There's a waiver in her voice

When she says she likes the view

Living on, Slow Burn Avenue

And she wonders what her life is coming too

On Slow Burn Avenue

Jesse was a farm boy with a need to be discreet

He really had no business being out there on the streets

But now a nervous man in a family van's

gonna help him find a room

In the morning there'll be cash to buy a key

So he can live on

Slow Burn Avenue,

Where he can hide from all those prying eyes

But the scars are showing through

Living on, Slow Burn Avenue

But he swears that he's the one who didn't choose

Slow Burn Avenue

Now some'll say they're crazy,

they don't have to live this way

Others say they're lazy;

those are easy words to say

I don't have any advice or any answers they could use

Cause the fact is I'm here living next to you

- on Slow Burn Avenue

You see I got tales to tell of a private hell

And I'm sure they'd bore you too,

living on, Slow Burn Avenue

And it scares me that I got used to the view

On Slow Burn Avenue
