Slow Me Down Lyrics - Restless - Shelby Lynne

Put me on a boat on the mighty mississippi 

Let old man river slow me down 

Been too long gone from my sweet dixie 

Chasin' a dream from town to town 

So I called my baby in mobile, alabama 

Said meet me in memphis on the jackson queen 

Tell you right now we ain't in no big hurry 

To make our way down to new orleans 

Chorus 

Slow me down 

Somethin' 'bout the rhythm and the rollin' of the river 

Slow me down 

Rocks me like a baby in a rockin' chair 

Slow me down 

Sometin' 'bout the smell of a sweet magnolia 

Slow me down 

Makes me forget all my troubles and cares 

Just a few more miles and I'll be there 

Well I need a little time for some relaxation 

A little bit of lovin' from my sugar pie 

Only heaven knows how my heart's been achin' 

For a big yellow moon in a southern sky
