Slow Down Brother

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

C 
And a highway cop at every cedar post 

           F 
You better slow down brother slow down 

G7 
Take your foot off of the gas 


C 
When you hear that siren begin to moan 

C 
While you're goin' fifty in a thirty mile zone 

           F 
You better slow down brother slow down 

G7                         C 
And don't give the man any sass 


       F 
If you race the other feller to the under pass 

C 
Just kiss yourself goodbye 

F 
Cause if the lord had really wanted you to go that fast 

G7 
He'd a-give you wings to fly 


C 
When you see a man reading a highway map 

C 
Making sixty-five with junior on his lap 

        F 
Then it ain't no time to take a nap 

G7                      C 
Brother you better slow down 


C 
If another car passes and he wants to race 

C 
And he's got his arm around his sweetie's waist 

           F 
You better slow down brother slow down 

G7 
No use to lean on the horn 


C 
When you got 'er wide open at ninety-nine 

C 
On a dead-end road without a warning sign 

           F 
You better slow down brother slow down 

G7                          C 
Cause that's how angels are born 


         F 
When you see a fellar comin' where the highways cross 

C 
Just ease up and let him by 

          F 
Don't you dare to try to beat him just to show who's boss 
  
G7 
Cause it might end up in a tie 

  
C 
If you're hittin' on ninety and a-temptin' fate 

C         
You will soon be knockin' on the golden gate 

           F 
Cause them hills and curves are graveyard bait 

G7                      C 
Brother you better slow down 

G7                      C 
Brother you better slow down
