Slow Me Down — текст песни (Shelby Lynne)

Put me on a boat on the mighty mississippi

Let old man river slow me down

Been too long gone from my sweet dixie

Chasin a dream from town to town



So I called my baby in mobile, alabama

Said meet me in memphis on the jackson queen

Tell you right now we aint in no big hurry

To make our way down to new orleans



Chorus

Slow me down

Somethin bout the rhythm and the rollin of the river

Slow me down

Rocks me like a baby in a rockin chair

Slow me down

Sometin bout the smell of a sweet magnolia

Slow me down

Makes me forget all my troubles and cares

Just a few more miles and Ill be there



Well I need a little time for some relaxation

A little bit of lovin from my sugar pie

Only heaven knows how my hearts been achin

For a big yellow moon in a southern sky



(repeat chorus and 3rd verse)
