Slow Down Summer - Thomas Rhett

The shades on my dashboard, shoes on my floorboard

Lived in that old Chevrolet

We were two Roman candles, too hot to handle

Too harsh, they couldn’t be tamed

Yeah, we knew, what was comin' and left it all

Like it was nothin'

Overtime, kept on runnin' and runnin' away

Yeah, what can I say

We had our hopes up and the windows down

Fallin' fast in a one-lane town

Tangled up with your lips on mine

Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and

I put my jacket on your shoulder

Wishin' the weather wasn’t gettin' colder

Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other

Closin' our eyes, sayin', «Slow down Summer»

(Slow down summer, summer, summer)

I was beggin' those leaves, don’t go changin' on me

Friday night lights, stay away

But the 4th of July was just smoke in the sky

And the sunburns were startin' to fade

Yeah, we knew, what was comin' and left it all

Like it was nothin'

Overtime, kept on runnin' and runnin' away

Yeah, those were the days

We had our hopes up and the windows down

Fallin' fast in a one-lane town

Tangled up with your lips on mine

Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and

I put my jacket on your shoulder

Wishin' the weather wasn’t gettin' colder

Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other

Closin' our eyes, sayin', «Slow down Summer»

(Slow down summer, summer, summer)

Why couldn’t you slow down Summer?

Just wait a minute, we weren’t finished

Can we just hold onto each other?

Take me back to the beginnin'

Oh, oh-oh, oh

Slow down Summer

(Summer, Summer, Summer, Summer)

Slow down Summer

(Summer, Summer)

Yeah, those were the days

We had our hopes up and the windows down

Fallin' fast in a one-lane town

Tangled up with your lips on mine

Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and

I put my jacket on your shoulder

Wishin' the weather wasn’t gettin' colder

Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other

Closin' our eyes, sayin', «Slow down Summer»

(Slow down summer, summer, summer)

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Slow down Summer, yeah

Why couldn’t you slow down Summer?

Why couldn’t you slow down?

Slow down, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Why couldn’t you slow down Summer?

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
