I’m slowing down the tune I never liked it fast
You want to get there soon I want to get there last

It’s not because I’m old It’s not the life I led
Em7 F#7 E7 Bm7
I always liked it slow That’s what my momma said

I’m lacing up my shoe But I don’t want to run
I’ll get there when I do Don’t need no startin' gun
Em7 F#7 Em7 F#7
It’s not because I’m old And it’s not what dying does
Em7 F#7 E7 Bm7
I always liked it slow Slow is in my blood
[Chorus 1]

With you it’s got to go With me it’s got to last

It’s not because I’m old It’s not because I’m dead
Em7 F#7 E7 Bm7
I always liked it slow That’s what my momma said
