Slow Down

(album: Everlasting Country - 2020)

When I pass your house I always look to see you standing on the porch
Or you'd be out in this one horse town with your daddy's old Ford
Even though I know his truck broke down and y'all packed on up and skipped this town
Everything still says you hang around here

Like 'em shotgun shells on that old stop sign
Down South Harpeth Road, by the farm on the right
Everything with you, never crossed my mind to slow down
I miss these old roads now
We was pedal to the metal chasing next Friday
Covering up the smell of Coors with your White Rain
Putting my lights, on sliding in your driveway slow
So your daddy wouldn't know

When I pass your house I always look to see you standing on the porch
Or you'd be out in this one horse town with your daddy's old Ford
Even though I know his truck broke down and y'all packed on up and skipped this town
Everything still says you hang around here

Like those black marks down by Kingston Springs bridge
Where we painted our names back in 2010
Blazer heat cranked high, 95.5 slow jams
I hear the same songs now
We was rocking Brooks and Dunn "Hillbilly Deluxe"
In a Ford midnight truck, bed full of rust
Counting cops and joints we passed, burning up these same old roads
I still feel young though

When I pass your house I always look to see you standing on the porch
Or you'd be out in this one horse town with your daddy's old Ford
Even though I know his truck broke down, you packed on up and skipped this town
Everything still says you hang around here

Yeah, you hang around here
You hang around here, mmm
Around here
Around here
I still hang around here
I still hang around here
