G             D               C 
I've put some miles down this road 
G                      C 
Working so hard for so long 
G                   C 
I miss my babies at home 
   G                               C 
It won't be that long till they're grown 
 

 
              G                  D                  Em                  C 
Slow down ol' son don't live too fast, you only get so much in your hourglass 
                 G                    D 
Just take it all in, you can't get it back 
        Em                       C 
Go live every day like it's your last 
         G                       D                            Em D        C 
You know time always wins so why race to the end, boy there's no sense to run 
              G    C 
Slow down ol' son 
 

 
     G                      C 
Well I thank the good Lord above 
    G            D          C 
For sending this old girl I love 
G             D          C 
One day we'll be old and gray 
   G             D          C 
So don't let one kiss go to waste 
 

 
              G                  D                  Em                  C 
Slow down ol' son don't live too fast, you only get so much in your hourglass 
                 G                    D 
Just take it all in, you can't get it back 
        Em                       C 
Go live every day like it's your last 
         G                       D                            Em D        C 
You know time always wins so why race to the end, boy there's no sense to run 
              G 
Slow down ol' son
