Slow Down

(album: Born Ready - 2018)

Ever since I turned eighteen
I've been running away from home
Only staying anywhere long enough
For 'Hello, goodbye, I'm gone'
Met you dancing one October night
She said I haven't got you off my mind
Some people just feel like home I guess
I can't tell you why

I've counted every highway line
I've heard every billboard sign
I swear I've been everywhere
But I'm looking for a place that's mine
It's hard to put your boots in the ground
For guys like me running town to town
Somebody like you makes me want to
Slow down, down, down

Maybe hang a front porch swing
On a lazy little afternoon
Settle down in one place
For more than a day or two
Wanna give the times a little break from spinning
Walk around town, let my feet sink in it with you
That's all I wanna do

I've counted every highway line
I've heard every billboard sign
I swear I've been everywhere
But I'm looking for a place that's mine
It's hard to put your boots in the ground
For guys like me running town to town
Somebody like you makes me want to
Slow down, down, down
Oh yeah

Maybe just drip like honey
Maybe just sit like sand
Maybe just stay right here
Maybe just be your man

I've counted every highway line
I've heard every billboard sign
I swear I've been everywhere
But I'm looking for a place that's mine
It's hard to put your boots in the ground
For guys like me running town to town
Somebody like you makes me want to
Slow down, down, down
You make me wanna slow down, down, down
