words & music by kent marks

lyrics

Why don’t we drive a little slower, Sally?
Why don’t we take in all the scenery?
I think I’ll shift a little lower, Sally
If you’re okay just hanging out with me
You hear that traffic how them horns be jamming?
They rubber-necking up and down the street
I think the reason all them brakes be slamming
Is pretty Sally you’re a sight to see
Oh my, we’re just headed for trouble
Trouble seem to land at my feet
Slow down to a Southerly Shuffle
Shuffle to a Southerly Beat
You see them cars how they all bottle necking
I think you’re changing their trajectory
I hope that we don’t cause no auto wrecking
You gonna send them to the factory
