Keb' Mo' - Slow Down lyrics

When I was a young boy Well they tried to tell me That I was movin' Movin' way too fast And I knew everything About everything But I really didn't wanna listen To a bunch of old folks talkin' trash So I got out on the highway Pedal to the floor Smokin' and drinkin' And a whole lot more But when they came to collect me Out of that jail They said boy next time You get no bail (Chorus:) You better slow down You better slow down Woke up one mornin' Ooh to a hunger I moaned And I began to twitch Felt the need For some lovin' A little sweet somebody To scratch my itch Momma said I don't mean to pry But I'm here to advise you Seeds like to grow When you put 'em in fertilizer (Chorus) Doin' my own thing I'm all grown up Yes I am Little bit older But I feel like a young buck I'm ridin' down the highway In a brand new mini van Wife and kids screamin' Ooh God I'm a family man I'm outta mind Losin' control I could leave tomorrow But there ain't nowhere to go (Chorus)
