Lyrics

Sausalito Slowdown
(Neil Wise)

Across the Frisco bay I found,
This winding forest road down to a sleepy old town
I could have flown right through this paradise,
But then i’d never set eyes on what the fog belies

Perhaps there's somethin' in this bottle of wine
‘Cos all of a sudden I've got nothing but time
Mystical forces, well I don't know,
Somehow my worries have just dissolved
Could it be, I hope it's true, can I mend my ways, to be more like you?

Sausalito slowdown, Oh you turned me around
Sausalito slowdown, Oh Sausalito I'm found
Sausalito slowdown, Sausalito Slowdown

The power of the flower's a faded memory,
Can barely see the Golden Gate for the trees
Money bought their land, but not their souls,
The tides will turn & pride won't fold
Oh yeah, I know it's true, I can mend my ways, & be so cool like you?

Sausalito slowdown, Ah you've turned me around
Sausalito slowdown, Oh Sausalito I'm found,
I took my pedal off the metal, my life’s overload
Forgot what I was chasin', not so long ago
The sweet damp of the forest formed some clouds in my eyes?
Or those gently lapping waves have me hypnotised
Sausalito slowdown, Ah you've turned me around
Sausalito slowdown, Oh Sausalito I'm found,
Sausalito slowdown, No wonder folks love this town,
Thank God I found, my Sausalito Slowdown
