Chorus:

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.



Chorus:

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!



Chorus:

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.
