Standing Still
|
|
here comes that highway honey
|
ain't much behind us but the road
|
let's hit that high road running
|
the morning sky shines of blue and gold
|
pretty soon we'll cross the line babe
|
we should have left a long long time ago
|
|
I'm pulling out of the slow lane
|
I don't know what we've been waiting for
|
I do admire patience
|
sometimes I've got to ask for more
|
this ain't no treadmill baby
|
this here's a trip around the world
|
|
I won't pass on no curve
|
I won't pass on no hills
|
I won't pass until I'm sure
|
I can pass them like their standin still
|
I can pass them like their standin still
|
|
blow a kiss and wave goodbye babe
|
roll the window down and touch the wind
|
I know you worried honey
|
that you won't see that place again
|
what with all these odds here against us
|
I promise babe the distance is your friend
|
|
It's time
|
now you and me we've paid our dues
|
let's fly and find our place in the sun
|
where our dreams come true
|
|
I won't pass on no curve
|
I won't pass on no hills
|
I won't pass until I'm sure
|
I can pass them like their standin still
|
|
(additional verse)
|
absence makes the heart grow fonder
|
so you and I don't have to wander far
|
see ourselves as born together
|
you look so brave and beautiful
|
this ain't no treadmill baby
|
this here's a trip around the world
|
