|
I'm cuttin off the telephone
|
You unplug the tv
|
At the rate life's passin us by
|
We can't take the time to breathe
|
|
I know you can't turn time around
|
But maybe there's a way to slow it down
|
|
Sippin' iced tea from a backporch swing
|
Layin' by a river as the wold runs by
|
Makin' sweet love while the Mockingbird sings
|
We can try, puttin' the brakes on time
|
|
When did we last have a heart to heart talk
|
Over a glass of wine
|
Or stop and watch the grass grow
|
Or smell a honeysuckle vine
|
|
We can't put the sand back in the hourglass
|
But we can hold each other baby
|
And make the weekend last
|
|
Sippin' iced tea from a backporch swing
|
Layin' by a river as the wold runs by
|
Makin' sweet love while the Mockingbird sings
|
You and I, puttin' the brakes on time
|
|
Puttin' the brakes on time
|
|
We've been sippin' iced tea from the backporch swing
|
Lay down by the river as the world runs by
|
Make sweet love while the Mockingbird songs
|
Can't stop the clock but we can't sure enough try
|
To put the brakes, put the brakes on time
|
