Lyrics
SOCIETY HILL
VERSE:
There's a speed trap town, just south of Cheraw.
I was racing down to Darlington, breaking the law.
But I didn't have a license and I didn't have a dime,
So I got to spend some quality time--
CHORUS:
In Society Hill, you better slow down,
It's a twenty miles-an-hour town.
If the sheriff don't get you, a little girl will.
Slow it down, down, down, down, down, down, down
In Society Hill.
VERSE:
Well the sheriff's only daughter, she was looking at me.
I said your daddy's asleep, baby, give me the key.
Leave a note for your mama, let's step on the gas.
She said boy, you're moving way too fast--
(REPEAT CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
And that's when she arrested me,
Flashing her blue blue eyes.
That Carolina girl of mine,
She turned around my life.
VERSE:
Twenty years later, now I'm wearing a star.
And I'm pulling over speeders in my police car.
But I never let my daughter see me lock up a stray,
'Cause she's just like her mama that way--
LAST CHORUS:
Yes, in Society Hill, I've been slowing it down
For twenty years in our town.
Don't you mess with my daughter, find some other thrill.
Slow it down, down, down, down, down, down,
Down, down, down, down, down--
In Society Hill.
Slow down, slow down, slow down, in Society Hill.
Slow down, slow down, slow down, in Society Hill.
