The highway bends like my lover's leg
|
Pulls me in like a wick draws a flame
|
She don't bother to remember my name
|
We don't talk of such things
|
|
I'll kiss you once
|
Baby, I'll kiss you twice
|
But I can't kiss you for the rest of your life
|
'Cause I'm not fit to be the man that makes you a wife
|
|
Baby, baby its just my foolish plight
|
|
Whatever road I may go down
|
If it bends, if it don't know how
|
I ain't stopped since I left my home town
|
And I can't slow down
|
|
I do what any man can to survive
|
Work a day or maybe even night
|
But I can't work inside for some 9-5
|
Honey not in this life
|
|
Whatever road I may go down
|
If it bends, if it don't know how
|
I ain't stopped since I left my hometown
|
And I can't slow down
|
|
Brown bodies
|
Bent at the waist
|
Frozen in a field as I drive by
|
In my unconscious pace
|
|
Freedom is not a state of mind
|
Nor is it a united state
|
Oh, and it sure ain't my escape
|
|
Whatever road I may go down
|
If it bends, if it don't know how
|
I ain't stopped since I left my hometown
|
And I can't slow down
|
|
No no no oh no
|
|
And I can't slow down
|
|
No oh no
|
Oh, lord
|
|
And I can't slow down
|

Can't Slow Down
