When I step off of that train I better sit down and wait Cause a soul can't travel that fast The best part of me will surely be late Cause a soul can't travel that fast A soul's gotta walk Like a pilgrim he stops To smell every flower on the path I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast When I get off of the road And I'm thinkin' I'm home I try to remember to remember When I'm holdin' my baby But I'm leaving her cold It's all cause a soul can't travel that fast Well a soul takes it's time Like a pilgrim he's tryin' To find him some peace that's gonna last I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast Travel that fast I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast Travel that fast If I'm runnin' or I'm flyin' And I'm losin' my mind Take my foot off of the gas Let the other fools pass A soul takes it slow Like a pilgrim he knows He's gonna get where he's goin' If he just stays on the path I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast Travel that fast I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast Travel that fast
