Slow It Down

You're running red lights
Going to fast
Burning the emotions up baby
The ones you thought you could make last

And you're going through life with blinders on
You gotta slow it down baby
The race has been won

(chorus)
Slow it down baby you're going way to fast
You're burning up my heart
Your time has gotta last

Slow it down baby you're going way to fast
You're burning up my heart
And you're running out of gas

Forget the brake lights
You got the pedal to the floor
There's no speed zone baby
When you walked out the door

When you drive through life with your headlights off
Your pushin' it to the limit
When your just not that tough

(chorus)
Slow it down baby you're going way to fast
You're burning up my heart
Your time has gotta last

Slow it down baby you're going way to fast
You're burning up my heart
And you're out of gas

You keep running red lights
Going way to fast
You're burning up my heart
And your running out of gas
(to chorus)

Slow it down
Slow it down
Slow it down 1 2 3 4 (To chorus)

Thank you for the kind words! I have this song about 80% finished in my mind. I am looking for a collaborator to finish this lyric and many many others off as well. My strength are lyrics not music per se.

I enjoyed your blog and of course I will be back! You are welcome here anytime and please post your thoughts good, bad or indifferent as well. The only way to grow is to accept feedback. Good or bad.

Ciao!

Thanks Nasra!

Thanks as well for posting Don's poem. I have enjoyed reading his work.

I am very pleased with this lyric. It flowed out of fingers in less than 10 mins. Things just "clicked". This lyric has good commercial appeal I think. Now it is just a matter of polishing it off and catching a break!

I keep dreaming the dream!
ciao!

Slow
Slow it down
I just can't
I can't Keep up
Your way to fast,
For me to catch
You are on fast lane
I can't reach out
I'm running behind
You're burring me up
Baby slow down
