Slow It Down
Savoring Life's Slow Dance: Jamestown Revival's 'Slow It Down' Meaning
Lyrics
I think it's time we slow it down
I believe it's appropriate to take things at a slower pace
I think it's time we slow it down
Reiteration of the idea that slowing down is necessary
I think it's time we slow it down
Emphasizing the need to decelerate
Country roads are calling
Expressing a desire to explore country roads
Headed for that hallowed ground
Heading towards a special and revered destination
Gonna do some roamin' round
Planning to wander and explore
Take a ride in the ole blue moon
Suggesting a journey under the moon's light
Hear that diesel humming
Hearing the sound of a diesel engine
Singing songs by the crackling fire
Singing tunes around a crackling fire
Get your guitar strumming along
Encouraging guitar playing along with the singing
Few miles down the ole dirt road
Traveling a few miles down a dirt road
Where nobody knows my name
Seeking anonymity away from familiar places
Take my time, ease my mind
Taking time to relax and clear the mind
Singing songs from yesterday
Singing songs that evoke memories
Yeah I think it's time we slow it down
Reiterating the importance of slowing down
Where them bass are biting
Looking forward to a leisurely fishing experience
Catching crawfish in the ditch
Engaging in activities like catching crawfish
In their holes they're hiding out
Noticing creatures hiding in their holes
Quiet nights beneath the sky
Enjoying quiet nights beneath the open sky
Hear them bullfrogs croaking
Hearing the sounds of bullfrogs in the peaceful night
I don't need no reason why
Not needing a specific reason for relaxation
I can do some toking alone
Choosing to unwind alone
Honey holes and fishing poles
Referring to favorite spots and activities like fishing
Feel that mud between my feet
Feeling the earth beneath one's feet
Slip and slide and country fried
Engaging in playful and carefree activities
Running from that summer heat
Escaping the heat of summer
Yeah I think it's time we slow it down
Reiterating the idea of slowing down and taking it easy
And we just might see it
Suggesting that by slowing down, one may witness something beautiful
Mother natures picture show
Referring to nature's beauty as a captivating show
Take a seat and breathe it in
Encouraging the listener to sit back and appreciate the moment
