Thomas Rhett - Slow Down Summer lyrics

[Verse 1] Your shades on my dashboard, shoes on my floorboard Lived in that old Chevrolet We were two Roman candles, too hot to handle Two hearts that couldn't be tamed [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, we knew what was comin’ And laughed it off like it was nothin' Oh, but time kept on runnin' and runnin’ away [Chorus] 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) [Verse 2] I was beggin’ those leaves, "Don't go changin’ on me" "Friday night lights, stay away" But the Fourth of July was just smoke in the sky And our sunburns were startin' to fade [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, we knew what was comin' And laughed it off like it was nothin' Oh, but time kept on runnin’ and runnin' away [Chorus] 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) [Bridge] 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 Slow down, summer Slow down, summer [Chorus] 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" [Outro] Oh (Slow down, summer) Slow down, summer, yeah Why couldn't you slow down, summer? Why couldn't you slow down? Slow down Why couldn't you slow down, summer?
