Lyrics

Second Wind

Slow it down Slow it down Slow it down Slow it down

I fell down in the mud And you cried on the ride home We were drunk, we were downtown A second wind led to drinking And stupid dances to make you smile Young and wild, had ourselves a time

Chase the feeling of youth we loaned Hate to deal with having to slow it down Shake the feeling half my life's gone Time is fleeting, you think I'd know by now

Slow it down Slow it down

I've been stuck in a rut I'm still climbing my way back From a bad past Keep recalling so many nights That we drank beer and watched some bands Parking lots, we were living fast No one cared, we'd hang out till they told us "No one's here, so pay up and get out"

Chase the feeling of days long gone Safe to say that my youth is rolling out Face the fact that I'm growing old I can see that I need to slow it down

Take me back to the days when we showed No signs of slowing down Make me feel like I'll never grow old

Slow it down Slow it down (Slow it down) (Slow it down) (Slow it down) (Slow it down)
