Drive Slow
(Verse 1)
The moonâs hitchinâ a ride on your hood tonight
Turning that gravel into silver light
Youâre shiftinâ gears like youâre in a hurry
But honey, there ainât no reason to worry
The world can wait on the other side of town
Iâm perfectly fine with the windows down
So take your foot off the gas just a little bitâ
Iâm kinda liking where weâre at, Iâll admit.
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, youâre looking at the road, Iâm looking at you
Thinking 'bout things we donât have to do... yet.
(Chorus)
Can you drive slow? (Pause) Take the long way home
I ainât ready for the porch light to be on
Let the engine hum, let the radio play
We can get where weâre going some other day
Iâm a little bit sweet, a little bit yours tonight
So keep us drifting in this dashboard light
Yeah, I like the view and I like the flowâ
Baby, drive slow.
(Verse 2) (Talk-singing style)
You got that "Iâm the man" look in your eyes
But donât act like youâre surprised
That Iâm asking for ten more minutes of this
Before you try for that goodnight kiss
Iâm a tough one to catch, or so they say
But youâre doing a pretty good job today
Just donât rush the best part of the rideâ
Keep me right here by your side.
(Chorus)
Can you drive slow? (Pause) Take the long way home
I ainât ready for the porch light to be on
Let the engine hum, let the radio play
We can get where weâre going some other day
Iâm a little bit sweet, a little bit yours tonight
So keep us drifting in this dashboard light
Yeah, I like the view and I like the flowâ
Baby, drive slow.
(Bridge) (Stripped down, just a kick drum and guitar)
No red lights, no traffic in sight
Just you and me and the middle of the night
The shortest distance ainât the pointâ
Iâm just enjoying being in this joint.
(Final Chorus)
Drive slow... take the long way home
I ainât ready for the porch light to be on
Let the engine hum, let the radio play
We can get where weâre going some other day
Iâm a little bit sweet, a little bit yours tonight
So keep us drifting in this dashboard light
Yeah, I like the view and I like the flowâ
Baby, drive slow.
