Friends in Slow Places - A1

Verse 1

Folks keep rushin us, but we’re takin’ our time,
We may miss the first joke, but we’ll laugh on the next line.
We’re a little behind, but we’re havin’ a ball,
If you wait a minute, you’ll hear us all.

Pre-Chorus

Life ain’t a race, that time’s a has-been,
We’ll get there when we get there - just count us in

Chorus

I’ve got friends in slow places,
Big ol’ smiles on familiar faces.
We’re a double beat behind, but we’re feelin’ just fine,
Singin’ every chorus out of tune and out of time

We’re not in a hurry, that’s a has-been,
Fast folks keep on chasin’ the wind,
So pull up a chair, come laugh awhile—
We may move slow, but we sure know how to smile.

Verse 2

We take the long way down an old dirt road,
Stop for a story, forget where we’re supposed to go.
The clock keeps tickin’, but we don’t mind,
The best good times never run on time.

Verse 3

Our knees hurt, but we still dance anyway,
Forget why we walked in, but we know every word they play.
We might take a little longer getting down the road,
But we’re laughing all the way, enjoying the ride we chose.

Bridge

So raise up your glass, let the good times roll,
Slow feet, fast laughs, that’s the way we roll.
We may get there after everyone else,
But we’re making memories that’ll never slow down.
