Better Slow

Talladega's made for racing

Tearing that Alabama pavement up

Whiskey's made for getting there quick

When the cold beer ain't enough

We wish away 19 and 20

Just to get to 21

But lately, I've been realizing

When it's all said and done

Some things, like a ride in paw paw's truck

Some things, like a deer-stand sun coming up

Some things you don't need faster like a tractor blocking the road

Yeah, some things you ain't gonna get back

Some things, you better make 'em last

Some things are worth soaking in 'cause you just never know

Like the hug you give your mama right before you go

Some things are better slow

From five o'clock on a Friday

'Til that Sunday sun goes down

How your Goodyears' roll

When you know you've got the hottest thing in town

How you float down a small-mouth river

When your limit's just one more

How you pet your dog that's barely holding on

After 12 years on the porch

Yeah, some things, like a ride in paw paw's truck

Some things, like a deer-stand sun coming up

Some things you don't need faster like a tractor blocking the road

Yeah, some things you ain't gonna get back

Some things, you better make 'em last

Some things are worth soaking in 'cause you just never know

Like the hug you give your mama right before you go

Some things are better slow

♪

Just like sand through an hourglass

Some things fly by too fast

Yeah, some things, like a ride in paw paw's truck

Some things, like a deer-stand sun coming up

Some things you don't need faster like a tractor blocking the road

Yeah, some things you ain't gonna get back

Some things, you better make 'em last

Some things are worth soaking in 'cause you just never know

Like the hug you give your mama right before you go

Some things are better slow, slow

Better slow
