I Cooled Her Down
And Now She's Good

Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Elvin Bishop (I Fooled Around And Fell In Love)

We’d driven that route, about a million times

We’d never had a problem before

But then a car, we recognized, whipped by

Their speed ninety-five, or more


It seemed to me, that my wife, when she realized

that her teenage son, was driving that car

She blew her top, losing all composure

and the rising heat

could be felt from afar


But then I cooled her down and now, she’s good

I cooled her down and now, she’s good

(For the moment baby)

I talked her down as best, I could

I cooled her down and now, she’s good


My daughter got friendly with a guy from school

It turned into a little bit more

I didn’t care, much for that boy, no sir

Cause I’d seen his type, before


She told him things, privately, some sensitive things

and he made a choice, that filled her with rage 

He shared the things, all the things she’d told him, with the whole wide world

on his Instagram page


But then I cooled her down and now, she’s good

I cooled her down and now, she’s good

(For the moment baby)

She panicked like most young, girls would

I cooled her down and now, she’s good


Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

Aaaaah, aaah

Aaaaah, aaah


Breath, really slow, let it in and out with me

That seemed to help her baby, physiologically


Ooh, it’s got a hold on me now

Yeah

I, can’t let go of you baby

I can’t stop loving you now

Hey, huh, huh

Cooled her down

I cooled her down

I cooled her down

I cooled her down

I cooled her down

I cooled her down

Now she’s good

Cooled her down

I cooled her down

Yes, I did

I cooled her down
