Slow Passin' Time

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
