Slow Down

(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 the soul you save could be your own.



Albert Abernathy never spent a foolish dime

Rising at the crack of dawn and working overtime

Though 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 the soul you save could be your own.



Little Sally Tremble is a Music City Queen

You can see her picture now on ever' magazine

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

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