I'm slowing down the tune
I never liked it fast
You wanna get there soon
I want to get there last


Its not because I'm old
Its not the life I led
I always liked it slow
That's what my momma said


I'm lacing up my shoes
But I don't want to run
I'll get there when I do
Don't need no starting gun


It's not because I'm old
and, it's not what dying does
I always liked it slow
Slow is in my blood


I always liked it slow
I never liked it fast
With you its got to go
With me its got to last


It's not because I'm old
Its not because I'm dead
I always liked it slow
That's what my momma said


All your moves are swift
All your turns are tight
Let me catch my breath
I thought we had all night


I like to take my time
I like to linger as it flies
A weekend on your lips
A lifetime in your eyes


And, I always liked it slow
I never liked it fast
With you its got to go
With me its got to last


It's not because I'm old
Its not because I'm dead
I always liked it slow
That's what my momma said


I'm slowing down the tune
I never liked it fast
You wanna get there soon
I want to get there last


So baby let me go
You're wanted back in town
In case they want to know
I'm just trying to slow it down
