I’m going nowhere and I’m going fast I should find a place to go and rest I should find a place to lay my head tonight Every morning there’s another start Every morning hits so hard Guess I’m running scared guess I’m running on empty Mister can you help me ‘Cause it seems I’ve been lead astray I keep searching for an answer for a way Won’t you help me You gotta slow down brother Slow down brother Slow down if you can’t go on Slow down brother Slow down brother Slow down if you can’t go on Do you think I’ll ever learn I used to be without concern Now all I ever do don’t seem to free me Mister can you help me ‘Cause it seems I’ve been lead astray I keep searching for an answer today Won’t you help me You gotta slow down brother Slow down brother Slow down if you can’t go on Slow down brother Slow down brother Slow down if you can’t go on
