Can't Slow Down Lyrics
The highway bends like my lover's leg
Pulls me in like a wick draws a flame She don't bother to remember my name We don't talk of such things I'll kiss you once Baby, I'll kiss you twice But I can't kiss you for the rest of your life 'Cause I'm not fit to be the man that makes you a wife Baby, baby, it's just my foolish pride Whatever road I may go down If it bends, if it don't know how I ain't stopped since I left my home town And I can't slow down I do what any man can to survive Work a day or maybe even night But I can't work inside for some nine to five Honey not in this life Whatever road I may go down If it bends, if it don't know how I ain't stopped since I left my hometown And I can't slow down Brown bodies Bent at the waist Frozen in a field as I drive by In my own country's pace Freedom is not a state of mind Nor is it a united state Oh, and it sure ain't my escape Whatever road I may go down If it bends, if it don't know how I ain't stopped since I left my hometown And I can't slow down No no no no no oh no And I can't slow down No oh no Oh, Lord And I can't slow down

I think it's about being with a woman that you don't want to stick with for the rest of your life.
"I'll kiss you once
Baby, I'll kiss you twice
But I can't kiss you for the rest of your life
'Cause I'm not fit to be the man that makes you a wife
Baby, baby, it's just my foolish pride"
At first I thought he thought he didn't deserve to be 'her' husband, but I think because of the previous lyrics...
"She don't bother to remember my name
We don't talk of such things"
...he actually doesn't want to be with her because of his own pride.
I think these lyrics are just he doesn't want to settle down into a typical lifestyle for her.
"I do what any man can to survive
Work a day or maybe even night
But I can't work inside for some nine to five
Honey not in this life"
And the rest is just him and his life on the road.
