SLOWED DOWN IN A SMALL TOWN
Writers: Carey Latham/Rick Amburgey
V1
Only one red light, but it’s got me
Sippin’ on my coffee, with my window rolled down
Checkin’ out the scene, waitin’ on green
Listenin’ to how quiet sounds
CH
Watchin’ a sweet gum tree changing colors right before me
An old man readin' the paper on his porch and
Wavin’ at an “Andy Griffith” out makin morning rounds
Smellin’ a big ole brisket cookin’ in a smoker
The stars and stripes flyin over the old courthouse
Wishin’ I could stay all day
Slowed down in a small town
V2
One lane turns to four and I’m back in the city
A clocked in puppet to a plastic mouse
But all I’m thinkin’ ‘bout is little Mayberry
And cruisin’ behind a farmer Brown
CH
Watchin a sweet gum tree changing colors right before me
An old man readin' the paper on his porch and
Wavin’ at an “Andy Griffith” out makin morning rounds
Smellin’ a big ole brisket cookin’ in a smoker
The stars and stripes flyin over the old courthouse
Wishin’ I could stay all day
Slowed down in a small town
Bridge
That 25 mile an hour speed limit
Used to just make me think about a ticket
Now that sign’s
Got me thinkin’ 'bout life
CH
And watchin' a sweet gum tree changing colors right before me
An old man readin' the paper on his porch and
Wavin’ at an “Andy Griffith” out makin morning rounds
Smellin’ a big ole brisket cookin’ in a smoker
The stars and stripes flyin (high) over the old courthouse
Spendin’ the rest of my days
Slowed down in a small town

Oh, Ain’t nothin like gettin’ slowed down in a small town
