Slow Down Lyrics by Michael James

Shoulder to the Wind

0

Well, you've worked late every night this week
You went in early today
You think that if you're to climb to the top
That's the price you've got to pay
Well, you haven't had supper with your kids all week
There's more work than ever before
Guess you didn't hear what your oldest child said
This morning as you walked out the door

Slow down
Daddy, don't work so hard
We're proud of our car
We've got a big enough yard
Slow down
Daddy, we want you around
Daddy, please slow down

Well, Matthew hit his first home run last night
Daddy, you'd have been so proud
After the game when we all went to bed
Thought I heard Momma crying out loud
Oh, your job is important, we all understand
And we're thankful for all that you do
But nothing can replace the happiness
That we have when we're with you

Slow down
Daddy, don't work so hard
We're proud of our car
We've got a big enough yard
Slow down
Daddy, we want you around
Daddy, please slow down

Slow down
Daddy, don't work so hard
We're proud of our car
We've got a big enough yard
Slow down
Daddy, we want you around
Daddy, please slow down
Daddy, please slow down

Oh, Daddy, please slow down
Slow down
Daddy, please slow down

Slow down
Daddy, please slow down
