[Verse 1]
I've put some miles down this road
Working so hard for so long
I miss my babies at home
It won't be that long till they're grown
[Chorus]
Slow down ol' son don't live too fast, you only get so much in your hourglass
Just take it all in, you can't get it back
Go live every day like it's your last
You know time always wins so why race to the end, boy there's no sense to run
Slow down ol' son
[Verse 2]
Well I thank the good Lord above
For sending this old girl I love
One day we'll be old and gray
So don't let one kiss go to waste
[Chorus]
Slow down ol' son don't live too fast, you only get so much in your hourglass
Just take it all in, you can't get it back
Go live every day like it's your last
You know time always wins so why race to the end, boy there's no sense to run
Slow down ol' son
[Bridge]
Yeah this life we've been given you blink and you'll miss it
You only get one
So slow down ol' son
[Chorus]
Slow down ol' son don't live too fast, you only get so much in your hourglass
Just take it all in, 'cause you can't get it back
Go live every day like it's your last
You know time always wins so why race to the end, boy there's no sense to run
Slow down ol' son
