Slow Down Town
Gratitude in the Slow Down Town: Brian Falduto's Southern Reflections
Lyrics
It takes a handful of sugar and a whole lot of lovin
Appreciating the sweetness of life requires both positive experiences ("sugar") and a substantial amount of love.
To make that little pecan pie in the oven
Creating a meaningful and comforting aspect of life, likened to baking a pecan pie in the oven.
It may seem like a whole lot of nothin
Acknowledging that life may seem uneventful or ordinary at times.
But I swear to you it's really somethin
Despite appearances, emphasizing that life holds genuine value and significance.
Down here they always wave when you pass by
Expressing the friendly nature of people in the community who wave when others pass by.
And they crack a smile when you catch an eye
Highlighting the warmth and friendliness of the community through shared smiles when making eye contact.
There's a whole lotta love to go around
Emphasizing the abundance of love within the community.
Cuz there's a whole lotta time before the sun goes down
Pointing out that there is ample time available before the day ends, suggesting a relaxed and unhurried lifestyle.
Thank you - for letting me slow down
Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to slow down and appreciate life.
Thank you - for letting me take a good look around

There ain't no time to just sit and talk

In the city that built me block by block
Recognizing the city as a place that shaped the singer's identity piece by piece.
Thank you - for letting me slow down
