Slow Night, So Long
Kings of Leon · Boxed [2011]
Slow night so long, she's frenching out the flavour
she's 17 but i done went and plum forgot it
No tears are gone they're pooling on the table
no tears are gone they're leaving their mark behind
So far so good she's absolutely wasted
she's handing up and changing her story around
I just don't know where leading ladies come from
I just don't know where that can be found
She's opened up just like she really knows me
I hate her face, but enjoy the company
I'll take you home, or back to Oklahoma
You're not so nice, but the sex sells so cheap
rise and shine all you gold-diggin' mothers
are you too good to tango with the poor, poor boys
she's 17 but i done went and plum forgot it
No tears are gone they're pooling on the table
no tears are gone they're leaving their mark behind
So far so good she's absolutely wasted
she's handing up and changing her story around
I just don't know where leading ladies come from
I just don't know where that can be found
She's opened up just like she really knows me
I hate her face, but enjoy the company
I'll take you home, or back to Oklahoma
You're not so nice, but the sex sells so cheap
rise and shine all you gold-diggin' mothers
are you too good to tango with the poor, poor boys
Slow Night, So Long
Kings of Leon's 'Slow Night, So Long' appears on their 2011 EP, Boxed, showcasing the band's signature blend of Southern rock and pop-rock energy. The track features the group's characteristic driving rhythm and vocal harmonies, delivered by lead singer Caleb Shomo. Released alongside hits like 'Use Somebody' and 'Sex On Fire,' the song reflects the band's evolution during this period, balancing their earlier anthemic style with a more introspective, mid-tempo groove. It remains a staple of their discography, capturing the raw, garage-inspired sound that defined their rise to prominence in the early 2010s.
