Eric Clapton - Slow Down Linda Lyrics
Well, if you're looking for a winner, then you know you've got to go with me.
I've got more ashes than Wednesday and you know I can brew my tea.
I'm fixing to teach you everything I know,
I'll take you with me baby everywhere I go.
If I can catch you for a minute I know you'll take a chance with me.
[Chorus:]
So slow down, slow down Linda.
Don't you think that you could save a little time with me?
So slow down, slow down Linda.
Don't you know that I've been waiting for your company?
I've seen you speeding down the highway when you ought to dig the scenery.
And you can wolf down your dinner in the time it takes to drink my tea.
You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
[Chorus]
I think that you're getting too old to be running around,
I think that it's time you thought about settling down,
So slow down, slow down Linda,
Don't you know that I've been waiting for your company.
You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer, you always go too fast for me.
[Chorus 2x]

My name was Linda before I legally changed it, haha
@Creedence Cadena
Haha, well then, you and the Linda from this song have a lot in common.
love you Eric
my name is Linda.....it feels good to hear him say my name
Speed up Creedence doesn't have the same ring! ;-)
Why did you change your name? "Linda" wasn't bad at all!

Lynyrd Skynyrd-Free Bird
Take a chill pill Linda!
yes, Eric is a very nice guy...but he likes his space...he's doesn't really like being bothered...you have to be cool with him....
@MarcoZucchi81 i havent met him myself.
@xxxtecnogalxxx I think it' s a fantastic "Driving across America" Rock'n'roll song... In my opinion it would be good with a Keith Richards-stile rithm guitar too... PS: was Eric a nice guy?
@MarcoZucchi81 i cant really tell you much coz i dont know too much about it. i just know it was written about her. her ex husband was erics drummer ,then eric became my stepbrothers god father and my bro was friend with his son that he wrote tears in heaven about. i dont know much more, sorry. :)
@xxxtecnogalxxx Fantastic! Could you tell us more about the whole story? Thanks!!
old rock and rool; there' s nothing better in the whole world......!!!!!!!! MPB? real bargage!
Nice one, Eric !!!
this song was written about my step mum - no joke!
awesome song!!!
great song
One of Eric's best overlooked rockers that should've been a hit. I wish Clapton would record more fun boogie tunes in this style.
