Verse 1:

I'm a reckless heart

I’m a hard case on my own

Never pay no mind to anything I'm told


Pre-Chorus:

I've got no intention

Of ever bending to crawl

I don’t need redemption, not at all


Chorus:

It's a slow grind

It's the same old story line

I'm in a slow grind

You've taken your soul, I'll take mine

Yeah


Verse 2:

Never waste my time cause I ain't got time to waste

Never compromise when I know things will never change


Pre-Chorus:

No commendation

But still the same old song

No mediation for right or wrong


Chorus:

It's a slow grind

It’s the same old story line

I’m in a slow grind

You took yours

It may took so long

To see your true intentions

It took so long

To come around

It took all down

But now it's time to mention

You were wrong, so wrong


Guitar solo:


Chorus:

It’s a slow grind

It's the same old story line

I'm in a slow grind

You've taken your soul, I’ll take mine


Outro:

It's a slow grind

It's the same old story line

I'm in a slow grind

You've taken your soul, I'll take mine

It's a slow grind

It's a slow grind

It's a slow grind

You've taken yours but I'll take mine
