Slow Down Lyrics - Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends: The Publishing Demos1968-72 - Kris Kristofferson

I said slow down 

Slow down and live, my friend 

Take time, take time to understand 

The things, the things you hope to win 

Before, before your journey's end 

Slow down, slow down and try to do 

The things, the things that's right for you 

You know, you know 

The soul, the soul 

You save could be your own 

Albert Abernathy never spent a foolish dime 

Rising at the crack of dawn and working overtime 

You know, he never told me how much happiness he found 

Yesterday we laid him in the finest grave in town.

I said slow down 

Slow down and live, my friend 

Take time, take time to understand 

The things, the things you hope to win 

Before, before your journey's end. 

Slow down, slow down and try to do 

The things, the things that's right for you 

You know, you know 

The soul, the soul 

You save could be your own. 

Little Sally Tremble is a Music City Queen 

You can see her picture now on every magazine 

Sally's come a long way from the life she left behind 

She's had six gold records and been married seven times!

I said slow down--slow down and live my friend 

Take time, take time to understand 

The things, the things you hope to win 

Before, before your journey's end 

Slow down, slow down and try to do 

The things, the things that's right for you 

You know, you know 

The soul, the soul 

You save could be your own.
