Written a few thousand feet over the Atlantic when Ruth and I were on our way to Raleigh, NC to get married after a whirlwind courtship.
Lyrics
SLOW DOWN
CHORUS
Folks say 'Slow down, why the haste?
Love ain't a race'
I guess they worry 'bout the hurry
That you and me seem to be in
But the first time we laid eyes on each other
We knew we were gonna be lifelong lovers
And wasting time ain't nothing but a doggone sin
VERSE 1
Take it easy, play it cool
That's a lesson you learn in junior lovin' school
But we dropped out and we're doing it our very own way
We got straight A's in dating
We're graduating in mating
And a high degree of lovin's what we're getting every day
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 2
Go easy, go slow
That's a lesson you learn when you first hit the road
But we're bombing down the highway doin' good and feelin' fine
We got the hammer down, we're in overdrive
The wind in our hair, we're enjoying the ride
And heaven on earth's just a little further down the line
REPEAT CHORUS
