Slow Lane

[Verse 1]
Thought them baby dolls would be kids by now
And I'd be living in that little pink house
That plastic jewelry would be diamonds
And white church bells, yeah, they'd be chiming
That '06 Saturn sitting in the yard
Would look more like a brand new car
Wouldn't wear out my wallet for a tank of gas
Maybe I'd finally get somewhere fast

[Chorus]
In the slow lane
Feels like life's passing me by
Down the highway
But my way's
A marigold sunset dirt road drive
One hand out the window, taking my time
'Cause when you got something real, real big to chase
It ain't a race in the slow lane

[Verse 2]
Thought these six strings and a couple of rhymes
Would be six figures, not a couple of dimes
Six years in to a ten year town
Ain't for the faint of heart 'cause you can't break down

[Chorus]
In the slow lane
Feels like life's passing me by
Down the highway
But my way's
A marigold sunset dirt road drive
One hand out the window, taking my time
'Cause when you got something real, real big to chase
It ain't a race in the slow lane, yeah

[Bridge]
Shooting stars, they burn out
If you go too fast, you're gonna crash and hit the ground
Yeah, you only get one go around
That's why I go around

[Chorus]
In the slow lane
Feels like life's passing me by
Down the highway
But my way's
A marigold sunset dirt road drive
One hand out the window, taking my time
'Cause when you got something real, real big to chase
It ain't a race in the slow lane, yeah
