"Slow Down" lyrics - KENNY CHESNEY

I used to laugh with an old friend
Till the busy world pulled him away
Every now and then I see him again
But he's not the same man I knew yesterday

The smile just grows smaller and smaller
And the worry lines fill up his face
Lately I'm thinking next time I see him
Just what I'm gonna say

Slow down
Man in the mirror slow down
You're running too fast to see what life's all about
This world ain't a fire for you to put out
The best times are here and now
Slow down

Some days I look back on the hard times
And they really don't seem all that bad
I've got to admit I like what I've got
But God I sure love what I had

And it's only on top of the mountain
After burning your life at both ends
You look back to see where you wanna be
Is exactly where you've always been

Slow down
Man in the mirror slow down
You're running too fast to see what life's all about
This world ain't a fire for you to put out
The best times are here and now
So slow down
