If I Don’t Slow Down

If I don’t slow down… it don’t catch up That’s what I learned — that’s enough Keep it movin’, keep it straight Don’t give nothin’ time to break

Got a stretch I ride real fast Right where it all went bad Don’t look left, don’t look right Just cut clean through the night

Hands don’t shake at this speed Funny what you get used to

If I don’t slow down It don’t reach me If I don’t turn ‘round It can’t see me

If I don’t slow down I stay clean Just a blur in the dark Of what I’ve been

There’s a mark on the guardrail bend Seen it more than once again Same curve, same dead light Same place I don’t think twice

Radio’s off — I like it quiet Lets me hear what’s underneath it Engine hum, breath in line Everything but what’s mine

Some things wait… some things chase I don’t give ‘em space

If I don’t slow down It don’t reach me If I don’t turn ‘round It can’t see me

If I don’t slow down I stay clean Just a blur in the dark Of what I’ve been

You ever notice… It ain’t the crash that gets you

It’s the moment before When you know …you could’ve stopped

If I don’t slow down I don’t feel it If I don’t stop now I don’t deal it

If I don’t slow down I stay gone Just a shadow on a road Rollin’ on
