Lyrics The Marshall Tucker Band

The Marshall Tucker Band

How Can I Slow Down

I just run 'round like a fool

Stay in trouble all the time

Got put behind bars yeah

Served two years on the county line

Life aint no good at all

behind these county walls

On a cold concrete pedestal

Oh wrote the words to this song

And how can I slow down

When I can't stop runnin'

My own shadow scares me to death

Got caught in Carolina town

When Woodrough sheriff come around

He caught me in the bed

With the county sheriff's wife

And how can I slow down

When I can't stop running

My own shadow scares me to death
