I think I'm going to slow down
Write some good old country tunes
Just take off the edge
Just take it easy
Let the sound of my own voice
Fill up the room
Maybe then somebody'd listen
To my half-finished songs
And half-broken vows
I'm halfway to some new sound
Tonight I'm taking back roads
To some backed up little town
On out in the hills
A little light in the cold
I'm going to lay down
All my precious little ghosts
And after a while
Time will begin to rewrite
All my half-finished songs
And half-broken vows
I'm halfway to some new sound
Play another slow number
I want to feel it like the first time
Play another slow number
I want to feel it like the first time
Play another slow number
Do you remember the first time?
