Slow Down Lyrics - 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 

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 

You better slow down 

You better slow down 

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 

You better slow down 

You better slow down
