Slow Down Brother

Slow Down Brother - Ferlin Husky & The Hushpuppies

There's a sixty mile limit from a coast to coast

And a highway cop at every cedar post

You better slow down brother slow down

Take your foot off the gas

When you hear that siren begin to moan

While you're going fifty in a thirty mile zone

You better slow down brother slow down

And don't give the man any sass

If you race the other feller to the

Under pass just kiss yourself goodbye

'Cause if the lord had really

Wanted you to go that fast

He'd give you wings to fly

When you see a man

Reading a highway map

Making sixty five with junior on his lap

Then it ain't no time to take a nap

Brother you better slow down

If another car passes

And he wants to race

And he's got his arm

Around his sweetie's waist

You better slow down brother slow down

No use to lean on the horn

When you got her wide open at ninety nine

On a dead end road without a warning sign

You better slow down brother slow down

'Cause that's how angels are born

When you see a fellar coming

Where the highways cross

Just ease up and let him by

Don't you dare to try to beat him

Just to show who's boss

'Cause it might end up in a tie

If you're hitting on ninety and a tempting fate

You will soon be knocking on the golden gate

'Cause them hills and curves are graveyard bait

Brother you better slow down

Brother you better slow down
