[Verse 1]
When I was a young boy, well, they tried to tell me
That I was movin', movin' way too fast
But I knew everything, mm, about everything
But I really didn't wanna listen to a bunch of old folks talkin' trash
So I got out on the highway, pedal to the floor
Smokin' and drinkin' and a whole lot more
'Cause when they came to collect me out of that jail
They said "Boy, next time you get no bail"

[Chorus]
You better slow down (slow down)
You better slow down (slow down)

[Verse 2]
Woke up one mornin', yes I did, to a hunger
I moaned and I began to twitch
I felt the need for some lovin', ooh-wee
A little sweet somеbody, gonna scratch-scratch my itch
Momma said: I don't mean to pry, but I'm here to advisе you
Seeds like to grow when you put 'em in fertilizer

[Chorus]
You better slow down (slow down)
You better slow down (slow down), oh-ho, oh-ho
[Verse 3]
Doin' my own thing, he-hey, I'm all grown up, yes I am
Little bit older, but I feel like a young buck
I'm ridin' down the highway in a brand new mini van
Wife and kids are screamin', ooh God, I'm a family man
Outta my mind, losin' control, oh yeah!
I could leave tomorrow, but there ain't nowhere to go

[Chorus]
You better slow down (slow down)
You better slow down (slow down), hey

[Outro]
(Slow down) you better slow down (slow down)
Sooner or later, hey (slow down)
You got to slow down (slow down)
My wife and kids are screamin' (slow down)
You better slow down (slow down)
Help me slow down, ha (slow down)
You better slow down (slow down)
My wife said: slow down (slow down)
Oh, you're movin' too fast, slow down (slow down)
