"Slower" lyrics

She was a lady for just sixteen and
I was a fool for any age
She was cool as the wind in spring and
Really ripened a soul boy's cage
I'd walk with her anywhere
When I knew we were almost there
I walked slower, trying to make it last
Way down the road and fading fast

Don't know what it's a mystery but
She went out with me one time
Talk about a catastrophe
I walked out my door without dying
Rolled around in my daddy's car
Lookin' up at our father's stars
I drove slower, trying to make it last
Way down the road and fading fast

Well I prayed if I stall long enough
She'll catch up with me
All I wanted is now my own
Lucky man, well here we are
Tonight is I hurry home I'm
Runnin' down the boulevard
And with every step I know
It wasn't that long ago
I'd walk slower, trying to make it last
Way down the road and fading fast

Slower, trying to make it last
Way down the road and fading fast
