I fell in love with a southern girl I gave her wings But she don't wanna fly no more Slow it down (2x) She wants a ring And she's slamming the door But baby don't cry whatcha in a hurry for Slow it down (2x) We are wild and young We have just begun So slow it down you move a little too fast You take a deep breathe and make it last And you should be the best days of your life I said we are wild and young Oh, we are wild and young And her free fall came a little out of the blue What happened to the days of doin' what we wanted to do? Slow it down (2x) We should kick back Just have a little fun Two kids gettin' high Have a couple beers in the sun Slow it down (2x) We are wild and young We have just begun I said we are wild and young Oh, we are wild and young So slow it down you move a little too fast You take a deep breathe and make it last And you should be the best days of your life I said we are wild and young Oh, we are wild and young
