Shelby Lynne - Slow Me Down lyrics

Put me on a boat on the mighty Mississippi Let old man river slow me down Been too long gone from my sweet dixie Chasin' a dream from town to town So I called my baby in Mobile, Alabama Said meet me in Memphis on the Jackson Queen Tell you right now we ain't in no big hurry To make our way down to New Orleans Chorus Slow me down Somethin' 'bout the rhythm and the rollin' of the river Slow me down Rocks me like a baby in a rockin' chair Slow me down Sometin' 'bout the smell of a sweet magnolia Slow me down Makes me forget all my troubles and cares Just a few more miles and I'll be there Well I need a little time for some relaxation A little bit of lovin' from my sugar pie Only Heaven knows how my heart's been achin' For a big yellow moon in a southern sky (Repeat chorus and 3rd verse)
