Ferlin Husky - Slow down brother

^CThere's a sixty mile limit from a-coast to coast ^CAnd a highway cop at every cedar post

You better ^Fslow down brother slow down ^G7Take your foot off of the gas

^CWhen you hear that siren begin to moan ^CWhile you're goin' fifty in a thirty mile zone

You better ^Fslow down brother slow down ^G7And don't give the man any ^Csass

If you ^Frace the other feller to the under pass ^CJust kiss yourself goodbye

^FCause if the lord had really wanted you to go that fast ^G7He'd a-give you wings to fly

^CWhen you see a man reading a highway map ^CMaking sixty-five with junior on his lap

Then it ^Fain't no time to take a nap ^G7Brother you better slow ^Cdown

^CIf another car passes and he wants to race ^CAnd he's got his arm around his sweetie's waist

You better ^Fslow down brother slow down ^G7No use to lean on the horn

^CWhen you got 'er wide open at ninety-nine ^COn a dead-end road without a warning sign

You better ^Fslow down brother slow down ^G7Cause that's how angels are ^Cborn

When you ^Fsee a fellar comin' where the highways cross ^CJust ease up and let him by

Don't you ^Fdare to try to beat him just to show who's boss ^G7Cause it might end up in a tie

^CIf you're hittin' on ninety and a-temptin' fate ^CYou will soon be knockin' on the golden gate

Cause them ^Fhills and curves are graveyard bait ^G7Brother you better slow ^Cdown

^G7Brother you better slow ^Cdown
