I'm slowing down the tune
I never liked it fast
You wanna get there soon
I want to get there last
Its not because I'm old
Its not the life I led
I always liked it slow
That's what my momma said
I'm lacing up my shoes
But I don't want to run
I'll get there when I do
Don't need no starting gun
It's not because I'm old
and, it's not what dying does
I always liked it slow
Slow is in my blood
I always liked it slow
I never liked it fast
With you its got to go
With me its got to last
It's not because I'm old
Its not because I'm dead
I always liked it slow
That's what my momma said
All your moves are swift
All your turns are tight
Let me catch my breath
I thought we had all night
I like to take my time
I like to linger as it flies
A weekend on your lips
A lifetime in your eyes
And, I always liked it slow
I never liked it fast
With you its got to go
With me its got to last
It's not because I'm old
Its not because I'm dead
I always liked it slow
That's what my momma said
I'm slowing down the tune
I never liked it fast
You wanna get there soon
I want to get there last
So baby let me go
You're wanted back in town
In case they want to know
I'm just trying to slow it down
