[Verse 1]
Wanted to be where you were
New to the town, this little country girl
Packed her bags, she up and went
So she could be where her heart lived
She ain't know no better, thought that it would last forever
But she ended up getting hurt
Regretted leavin' home, wished that she had known
As soon as she got there, he would be long gone
But she said, "It's too late to turn back, no
I don't wanna go home now"
[Chorus]
But this city love moves way too fast for me
So baby, won't you slow it down? Please, pump the brakes, don't speed
I've got miles and miles of love
Ain't no need to try to rush
We gon' get there just the same
Why don't we map out the way?
You ain't into city love, this city love, city love's
Too fast for the country, yeah (Ooh, la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la)
It's too fast for the country (Ooh, la-la, la-la-la-la)
[Verse 2]
Convinced herself not to cry
It's not her fault they don't see eye to eye
She can't turn back 'cause they all think
She should've stayed home from the beginnin'
She's gonna prove em wrong, even if it takes her too long
To find herself a new love
Far away from home, wished that she had known
The moment she got there, he would be long gone
But she said, "It's too late to turn back, no
I don't wanna go home now"
[Chorus]
But this city love moves way too fast for me (It's movin' way too fast)
So baby, won't you slow it down? Please, pump the brakes, don't speed (Ain't no need to speed)
I've got miles and miles of love (Miles and miles)
Ain't no need to try to rush
We gon' get there just the same
Why don't we map out the way? (Why don't we map out the way)
You ain't into city love, this city love, city love's (Yeah)
Too fast for the country, yeah (Hey)
[Bridge]
She didn't know what to do
She had nothin' left to lose
She was lost, so confused
Out of her element, so heartbroken
Decided to let it go
Nowhere she could turn to, nowhere else to go
No way to pull through, nothing to hold to
Where else could she be? What else could she do?
But she said, "It's too late to turn back, no
I don't wanna go home now"
[Chorus]
But this city love moves way too fast for me
So baby, won't you slow it down? Please, pump the brakes, don't speed
I've got miles and miles of love
Ain't no need to try to rush
We gon' get there just the same
Why don't we map out the way?
You ain't into city love, this city love, city love's (No, you ain't into city, love)
Too fast for the country, too fast for the country (Ooh, la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la)
Too fast for the country, woah, woah, yeah (Ooh, la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la)
I've got miles and miles of love
Ain't no need to try to rush (No need to try to rush)
We gon' get there just the same (Yeah)
Why don't we map out the way? (Yeah, yeah)
You ain't into city love, this city love, city love's (This love's too fast)
Too fast for the country
