We drove all night to get to |
|
Corpus Christi |
|
My parents slept right through, they never missed me |
|
We were far from sleepin', when the truth began to creep in |
|
That we weren't goin' home anytime soon |
|
The mornin' light sure took us by surprise |
|
We grabbed our clothes, watched a beautiful sunrise |
|
We were one together and we must have talked forever |
|
And it was then and there |
|
I realized that |
|
And I don't want to wait even one more night |
|
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right |
|
Knees buckled, white knuckled, we're holdin' on tight |
|
We're travelin' at twice the speed of life |
|
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah |
|
We worked our way through college waitin' tables |
|
Bought a little white house with a picket fence and cable |
|
I asked if he was ready to become a |
|
Mom and Daddy |
|
And then I found my answer in his eyes and he said |
|
I don't want to wait even one more night |
|
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right |
|
Knees buckled, white knuckled, we're holdin' on tight |
|
We're travelin' at twice the speed of life |
|
Now, our oldest girl is almost grown |
|
She's got a boyfriend of her own |
|
I heard her sneakin' out with him last night |
|
And if she's anything like me |
|
She's desperate to be wild and free |
|
We know now it's just a matter of time 'til she says |
|
I don't want to wait even one more night |
|
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right |
|
Knees buckled, white knuckled, we're holdin' on tight |
|
We're travelin' at twice the speed of life |
|
I don't want to wait even one more night |
|
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right |
|
Knees buckled, white knuckled, we're holdin' on tight |
|
We're travelin' at twice the speed of life |
|
Speed of life |
