Keb' Mo'

Slow Down

Keb' Mo'


When I was a young boy 
Well they tried to tell me 
That I was movin' 
Movin' way too fast 
And I knew everything 
About everything 
But I really didn't wanna listen 
To a bunch of old folks talkin' trash 
So I got out on the highway 
Pedal to the floor 
Smokin' and drinkin' 
And a whole lot more 
But when they came to collect me 
Out of that jail 
They said boy next time 
You get no bail 

(Chorus:) 
You better slow down 
You better slow down 
Woke up one mornin' 
Ooh to a hunger 

I moaned 
And I began to twitch 
Felt the need 
For some lovin' 
A little sweet somebody 
To scratch my itch 
Momma said I don't mean to pry 
But I'm here to advise you 
Seeds like to grow 
When you put 'em in fertilizer 

(Chorus) 

Doin' my own thing 
I'm all grown up 
Yes I am 
Little bit older 
But I feel like a young buck 
I'm ridin' down the highway 
In a brand new mini van 
Wife and kids screamin' 
Ooh God I'm a family man 
I'm outta mind 
Losin' control 
I could leave tomorrow 
But there ain't nowhere to go 

(Chorus)
