[Verse 1]
The smDoke and the booze don't tBmreat me like they did back tEmhen.
Those little white piGlls we took to forget where we'd bDeen.
And DI've seen first-hand what the neBmedle has done to my frEmiend.
Thank God I'm still hGere to stay away from the places I've bDeen.
[Chorus]
You've gCot to slow down whGile we can still see the miDles.
Put on the brAmakes in the fast lane Gand rest for a whDile.
You lCive with your demons long enoGugh they seem like your friDends.
Put on the brAmakes in the fast lane Gbefore your road eDnds.
[Verse 2]
That fiDrst cigarette didn’t Bmdo much, the second one Emdid.
That first taste of whiGskey was good when I was a kDid.
So, I’ll tDell you first-hand I’ve Bmbeen there, I know where you Emare.
In ways I am stGill that kid with eyes for the stDars.
[Chorus]
You've gCot to slow down whGile we can still see the miDles.
Put on the brAmakes in the fast lane Gand rest for a whDile.
You lCive with your demons long enoGugh they seem like your friDends.
Put on the brAmakes in the fast lane Gbefore your road eDnds.
Put on the brAmakes in the fast lane Gbefore your road eDnds.

You've got to slow down while we can still see the miles.

That first cigarette didn’t do much, the second one did.

So, I’ll tell you first-hand I’ve been there, I know where you are.

In ways I am still that kid with eyes for the stars.
