Slow Down

I couldn’t wait for graduation

It seemed like forever away

I couldn’t wait to leave home

and be on my own

Daddy said, “Son you’ll miss this one day”

He said slow down

Just take your time live it right now

In the blink of an eye you’ll be right here

Wishing you could go back to these years

So lean more on the brake and less on the gas

These days won’t come back around

Slow down

I can see it more clearly these days

Now I got a boy of my own

From training wheels and happy meals

to driving cars and breaking hearts

Man, where’d the time go

Would yous low down

Just take your time live it right now

In the blink of an eye you’ll be right here

Wishing you could go back to these years

So lean more on the brake and less on the gas

These days won’t come back around

Slow down

I learned that time don’t ease up

Standing in a hospital room

Wishing I could go back to hearing you laugh

Saying, “Son, don’t wish it too soon.”

Dad, I wish I would’ve listened to you

Daddy slow down

just take your time live it right now

Don’t close your eyes I’ll be right here

Wishing we could go back to those years

So lean more on the brake and less on the gas

This day won’t come back around

Slow down

Slow down
