Slow Down Lyrics by Sam Young

2024

He was just a farm boy, young and wild and free
Met a girl from town who stole his heart easily
They'd meet by the river, talk 'til the sun went down
He thought she was the one, but she let him down
She said goodbye, as the leaves turned gold
Left him standing there, feeling way too old
Mama dried his tears, and she held him tight
Said love takes time, it’ll come when it's right

Mama said slow down, keep looking around
Not every girl's made for a wedding gown
Some are meant to love you and let you go
Teach you things you never thought you'd know
She said life's not a race, take your time
The right one will come when it's her time to shine
So hold onto your heart, don't give it away
'Cause the one who’s worth it is worth the wait

He moved to the city, bright lights and dreams
In the fast lane now, nothing’s what it seems
Met a girl with a smile that lit up the night
But she had a wild side that didn’t sit right
He gave her his love, thought he'd found his place
But she left him in the dark, without a trace
Mama’s words echoed, late at night
Love takes time, it’ll come when it’s right

Mama said slow down, keep looking around
Not every girl's made for a wedding gown
Some are meant to love you and let you go
Teach you things you never thought you'd know
She said life's not a race, take your time
The right one will come when it's her time to shine
So hold onto your heart, don't give it away
'Cause the one who’s worth it is worth the wait

Years went by, he learned to take it slow
Started seeing things that he used to ignore
Then he met a girl with a heart of gold
Knew how to love him through the highs and the lows
They walked down the aisle, mama in the crowd
He finally understood what she talked about
Found his true love when the time was right
In the big city, she brought the small-town light

Mama said slow down, keep looking around
Not every girl's made for a wedding gown
Some are meant to love you and let you go
Teach you things you never thought you'd know
She said life's not a race, take your time
The right one will come when it's her time to shine
So hold onto your heart, don't give it away
'Cause the one who’s worth it is worth the wait

[outro]
Mama said slow down, keep looking around
Now he's found the one in that wedding gown
