Slow Down by Philip Bosley

They pulled up the tracks
To pave up the fields
If progress won't yield
How can we turn back

Towers for cell phones
Towers for hydro
Corporate billboards
Farms into suburbs

80 to 60 to 50 to 40
Cops on patrol
15 to 20 to 30 to 40
Time's movin' faster, I'm slowin' down

They tore down the drive-in
To put up a Wal-Mart
There ain't no more drive-ins
They ain't comin' back

That brand new highway
Needs a resurface
You thought it'd been fifteen
When it was twenty-five

2 lanes to 4 lanes to 6 lanes to 8 lanes
Wider and wider it goes
8 months and 6 years or 4 days and 2 weeks
Time's movin' faster, I'm gettin' old

Pulled up the tracks
Paved up the fields
Progress won't yieled
There's no turning back

80 to 60 to 50 to 40
Cops on patrol
20 to 30 to 40 to 50
Time's slowin' down, I'm gettin' old
