"Slow Passin' Time" lyrics
We both had our dreams when we left that sleepy little town behind
Things have gotten so mixed up, I tell you I've forgotten mine
It all had something to do with money and a better way of life
When that old alarm goes off it's getting hard to open our eyes
Oh, but somewhere in my mem'ry the afternoon sun's hangin' in the trees
And the sun is comin' up from the gulf coast on a sultry breeze
You and me, we're together in a porch-swing state of mind
Lovin' each other to the rhythm of slow-passin' time
Fell asleep last night to echoes of a song you used to sing with me
And I thought how I miss the life that had such simple harmony
And lately I've begun to wonder, if the price we paid is too great
When it's backed up bumper to bumper out here on the interstate
Oh, but somewhere in my mem'ry the afternoon sun's hangin' in the trees
And the sun is comin' up from the gulf coast on a sultry breeze
You and me, we're together in a porch-swing state of mind
Lovin' each other to the rhythm of slow-passin' time
Things have gotten so mixed up, I tell you I've forgotten mine
It all had something to do with money and a better way of life
When that old alarm goes off it's getting hard to open our eyes
Oh, but somewhere in my mem'ry the afternoon sun's hangin' in the trees
And the sun is comin' up from the gulf coast on a sultry breeze
You and me, we're together in a porch-swing state of mind
Lovin' each other to the rhythm of slow-passin' time
Fell asleep last night to echoes of a song you used to sing with me
And I thought how I miss the life that had such simple harmony
And lately I've begun to wonder, if the price we paid is too great
When it's backed up bumper to bumper out here on the interstate
Oh, but somewhere in my mem'ry the afternoon sun's hangin' in the trees
And the sun is comin' up from the gulf coast on a sultry breeze
You and me, we're together in a porch-swing state of mind
Lovin' each other to the rhythm of slow-passin' time
