[Verse 1]
They got a letter from the bank today
They said they wanna take the house away
I thought oh no, yeah
But Daddy took my Momma's hand again
And in the kitchen, danced the hurt away
That's where they'd go and

[Chorus]
Slow down
Put some Johnny on the radio
The kind of music that can soothe your soul
Soothe your soul
Slow down
Don't have much but I can promise you
Whatever comes you know we'll make it through
Me and you
Slow down
Why don't we slow down

[Verse 2]
Life gets messy but as God's our witness
Dancing in the kitchen's family business
Sing oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
So hold somebody that you love real tight
And dance until the darkness turns to light
Let it go

[Chorus]
Slow down
Put some Johnny on the radio
The kind of music that can soothe your soul
Soothe your soul
Slow down
Don't have much but I can promise you
Whatever comes you know we'll make it through
Me and you
Slow down
Why don't we slow down

[Bridge]
And when the evening's coming
And you can't take the weight, oh yeah yeah
So wrap your arms around me
And we can dance the pain away, oh

[Chorus]
Slow down
Put some Johnny on the radio
The kind of music that can soothe your soul
Soothe your soul
Slow down
Don't have much but I can promise you
Whatever comes you know we'll make it through
Me and you
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
And why don't we slow down
Why don't we slow down
Why don't we slow down
Why don't we slow, why don't we slow down
Slow down
