Lyrics
Slow Down©2025
Slow down, stroll around this town
Take a deep breath, a quick look around
Don’t let the madness, take you down, slow down
Things are gonna work out, we’ve seen worse my friend
Craziness everywhere, don’t count in the end
Turn down the noise, just round the bend, slow down
Catch the shining beauty, of the moonlit diamond studded sky
As daylights movin closer, taste dawns sweet, sunrise
Live a little, love a lot, care about big things, things that can’t be bought
Don’t get so busy, you forget what you got, slow down, slow down
Catch the shining beauty, of the moonlit diamond studded sky
As daylights movin closer, taste dawns sweet, sunrise
Cause not far from aggravation lie beautiful destinations, Oh yeah
Slow down, hum-hum, Slow Down, Slow Down
