Won't Slow Down

(album: Longcut - 2022)

I try not to think about her
Just getting used to life without her
It's proved to be a little tougher than I thought
'Cause I get caught
Every time I think I'm getting somewhere
Turns out I ain't got nowhere
I can go in this small town world
Where I can outrun that girl

I could go ninety down some long stretch
Along some two lane road
She'll still be there way out where nobody goes
It'd be one thing if her memory
Just chased me outta town
Said goodbye at the county line
But she follows me around
When she's up I could probably gain some ground
But she won't slow down

I've seen a thousand sunsets
You'd think she drives a Corvette
The way she crashes into every scene
Rushes in on me, won't let me be

I could go ninety down some long stretch
Along some two lane road
She'll still be there way out where nobody goes
It'd be one thing if her memory
Just chased me outta town
Said goodbye at the county line
But she follows me around
When she's up I could probably gain some ground
But she won't slow down

I could take a jet plane or a fast train out

I could go ninety down some long stretch
Along some two lane road
She'll still be there way out where nobody goes
It'd be one thing if her memory
Just chased me outta town
Said goodbye at the county line
But she follows me around
When she's up I could probably gain some ground
And find a place where the thought of her can't be found
But she won't slow down
She won't slow down
