SLOW ME DOWN
CAUGHT IN A SLIPSTREAM, CARNIVAL RIDE
EVERYTIME YOU HOLD ME, LIKE FLOATIN’ IN A RIPTIDE
AIN’T NO EASY WAY OUT, I WOULDN’T CHANGE A THING
IT’S A RUNAWAY FEELING, GOT A GRIP ON ME
BUT WHEN THE NIGHT TIME ROLLS AROUND
BABY YOU KNOW,
YOU KNOW HOW TO SLOW ME DOWN
SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN, ROLLIN’ IN THE DEEP
SOMETIMES YOU’RE LIKE A ROGUE WAVE, CRASHIN’ OVER ME
I CAN’T SEE THE HORIZON, CAN’T TELL UP FROM DOWN
IT’S A DIFFERENT KIND OF VERTIGO, EVERYTIME YOU SPIN ME ‘ROUND
BUT WHEN THE NIGHT TIME ROLLS AROUND
BABY YOU KNOW,
YOU KNOW HOW TO SLOW ME DOWN
SLOW ME DOWN NOW
THOUGHT I WAS HELL ON WHEELS
LOOKIN’ FOR SOME HIGHER GROUND
BURNIN’ UP A LOST HIGHWAY
UNTIL THE DAY LOVE CAME TO TOWN
BABY YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW HOW TO SLOW ME DOWN
YOU KNOW HOW TO SLOW ME DOWN
YOU KNOW HOW TO SLOW ME DOWN
BABY SLOW ME DOWN NOW
1. WAY DOWN DEEP
Right on
Fine as a funky little thing can be
Mercy
A lean low rider cruising down the street
Come on
Come on sugarcane get next to me
Candy/Straight up
Your sweet lovin' ain't all I need
I wanna know what makes your heart shine
What goes on in that beautiful mind
I wanna dig down deep
Way down deep
Testify
Don't lead me on with no shallow line
Show me
If we dig down deep what I might find
Tell me
About the hot blood pumpin through your veins
Hold me
Cool me down like a summer rain
Nothin about you I don't wanna know
Ain't but one place I wanna go
I wanna dig down deep
Way down deep
Deep
Yeah Way down deep
Walkin' down Easy Street ain't the easy way to Eden
It takes an inside job and a heavy toolbox to lose the voice of reason
2. Runnin On Fumes
I was cruising on top of a steam locomotive ridin shotgun down the tracks
But I let the fire in the boiler burn down to ashes and left myself with a cold smokestack
Now I'm trying to turn coal into cut diamonds, give rise to the Phoenix' heavy wings
Reaching for the sky, yearning to fly, and find out why a caged bird still sings
(Chorus)
Daring to drive the dark highways of the night
Guided by the light of the moon
Trusting that the gasoline gauge is reading right
When it feels like I'm runnin on fumes
I'm countin on faith to get me over this mountain, across unfamiliar terrain
That a leap out into the great wide open, will lead me back home again
My compass rightly needs a little calibration, might need to burn my internal map
I've come to believe that to find myself, gettin lost is the only back
(Chorus)
Daring to drive the dark highways of the night
Guided by the light of the moon
Trusting that the gasoline gauge is reading right
When it feels like I'm runnin on fumes
Searchin’ for water in a sea of desert, time slipping through my hands
Workin' my way to a new horizon, leaving footprints in the sand
3. FINAL RENDEVOUS
LOST A REAL GOOD FRIEND LAST YEAR
HE MOVED ON TO A BETTER PLACE
I REMEMBER HOW HE FACED THE FEAR
HOW HE WORE A REAL BRAVE FACE
I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT LIVING AND DYING
AND THERE AIN’T NO SHAME IN A GROWN MAN CRYIN’
(Chorus)
SAIL ON, DON’T WASTE A MINUTE
LIFE IS HARD NO MATTER HOW YOU SPIN IT
THE ONE THING I KNOW TO BE TRUE
WE’RE ALL GONNA MEET OUR MAKER
AT THE FINAL RENDEVOUS
EVERYDAY’S A JOURNEY OF TWISTS AND TURNS
SOME FIND DIAMONDS, SOME FIND COAL
THE LUCKY ONES DARE TO DIG DOWN DEEP
HOPIN’ TO FIND A PATH PAVED WITH SOUL
MY BUDDY’S GONE, AND AS LONG AS I’M BREATHING
I’LL BE SEARCHIN FOR THAT DEPTH OF FEELING
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
WALKED A WALK THAT TAKES A LOT OF HEART TO FOLLOW
HIT THE ROAD LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW
AND THERE NEVER IS............
