I fell in love with a southern girl
I gave her wings
But she don't wanna fly no more

Slow it down
Slow it down

She wants a ring 
And she's slamming the door
But baby don't cry 
Whatcha in a hurry for

Slow it down
Slow it down

We are wild and young
We have just begun

Slow it down you move a little too fast
Gotta take a deep breath and make it last
these should be the best days of your life

We are wild and young
We are wild and young

Her free fall came 
little out of the blue
What happened to the days 
Of doing what we wanted to do?

Slow it down
Slow it down

We should kick back 
Just have a little fun
Two kids gettin' high
Have a couple beers in the sun

Slow it down
Slow it down

We are wild and young
We have just begun

We are wild and young
We are wild and young
We are wild and young
We are wild and young

Slow it down you move a little too fast
Gotta take a deep breathe and make it last
These should be the best days of your life

We are wild and young
We are wild and young
We are wild and young
We are wild and young
