American Dreamer - Take It Slowly Lyrics

I just want to be your one and only
I don’t want to wait ’til we get old
When you come ‘round take it slowly
I got nowhere else go

It’s a long way back to Jackson
Mama said don’t go alone
It’s a long time since I held you
Something tells me we got that wrong

I got a light
You got a load
I don’t want to let you ride a
I don’t want to let you ride a
I don’t want to let you ride alone

I just want to be your one and only
I don’t want to wait ’til we get old
When you come ‘round take it slowly
I got nowhere else go

So I’m here and I am humbled
By the rivers and the trees
There’s pain and there’s stubborn hope
But only you took me to my knees

I got a light
You got a load
I don’t want to let you ride a
I don’t want to let you ride a
I don’t want to let you ride alone

I just want to be your one and only
I don’t want to wait ’til we get old
When you come ‘round take it slowly
I got nowhere else go


I didn’t treat you right
I was thinking about my own strife
But we only have one life
I want to spend it by your side

I just want to be your one and only
I don’t want to wait ’til we get old
When you come ‘round take it slowly
I got nowhere else go

I just want to be your one and only
I don’t want to wait ’til we get old
When you come ‘round take it slowly
I got nowhere else go
