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

Chords in this song · guitar

There's a sixty mile limit from a-coast to coast

And a highway cop at every cedar post

You better slow down brother slow down

Take your foot off of the gas

When you hear that siren begin to moan

While you're goin' fifty in a thirty mile zone

You better slow down brother slow down

G7 C

And don't give the man any sass

If you race the other feller to the under pass

Just kiss yourself goodbye

Cause if the lord had really wanted you to go that fast

He'd a-give you wings to fly

When you see a man reading a highway map

Making sixty-five with junior on his lap

Then it ain't no time to take a nap

G7 C

Brother you better slow down

If another car passes and he wants to race

And he's got his arm around his sweetie's waist

You better slow down brother slow down

No use to lean on the horn

When you got 'er wide open at ninety-nine

On a dead-end road without a warning sign

You better slow down brother slow down

G7 C

Cause that's how angels are born

When you see a fellar comin' where the highways cross

Just ease up and let him by

Don't you dare to try to beat him just to show who's boss

Cause it might end up in a tie

If you're hittin' on ninety and a-temptin' fate

You will soon be knockin' on the golden gate

Cause them hills and curves are graveyard bait

G7 C

Brother you better slow down

G7 C

Brother you better slow down
