slow me down
The Willis Clan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Worry of the future on my mind
Everybody's searching, hurting
Looking for the something they can't find
I was running races, places
No one ever stopped to tell you why
I didn't know that I would, I could
And get more of this
Sweet, sweet simple life - and
Spending all my time
With you and me and family around
Get more of this
Sweet, sweet way of living
Didn't know what I was missing
Taking all for granted until now
Baby slow me down
Baby slow me down
Always on the road I roam, till I
Found a place that I could call my home
But you have somehow changed me, made me
Realize just what this world can be
With just a little more
Sweet, sweet simple life - and
Spending all my time
With you and me and family around
Get more of this
Sweet, sweet way of living
Didn't know what I was missing
Taking all for granted until now
Baby slow me down
Baby slow me down - yeah yeah yeah
There is so much love here now
Only you can show me how
Get more of this
Sweet, sweet simple life - and
Spending all my time
With you and me and family around
I'm getting more of this
Sweet, sweet way of living
I didn't know what I was missing
Taking all for granted until now
Baby slow me down - yeah yeah yeah
Baby slow me down - yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Slow me down
Baby slow me down
