Shortcut to Waco

[Verse 1]
"The gettin's in the going," said the river to the ocean
Winding way to where they meet
This feelin' we keep holding on should be lettin' go and let the
Current sweep us off our feet
Show us where we're supposed to be

[Chorus]
There ain't no shortcut to Waco, whichever way that we go
We ain't gonna make it on time
We oughta inch a little closer, ease on over to the shoulder
Make some lost highway, roadside, star aligning
Heart-pounding lovin' tonight

[Verse 2]
Speeding up won't gеt us nowhere
Slowing down won't mean wе quit
Inside the present is the gift
And it's the only one we get

[Chorus]
There ain't no shortcut to Waco, whichever way that we go
We ain't gonna make it on time
We oughta inch a little closer, ease on over to the shoulder
Make some lost highway, roadside, star aligning
Heart-pounding lovin' tonight

[Verse 3]
You say tomato, I say tomato
Baby, it's all the same
You scream, I scream, we all scream sometimes
To keep from going insane

[Chorus]
There ain't no shortcut to Waco, whichever way that we go
We ain't gonna make it on time
We oughta inch a little closer, ease on over to the shoulder
Make some lost highway, roadside, star aligning
Heart-pounding lovin' tonight

[Outro]
"The gettin's in the going," said the river to the ocean
Winding way to where they meet
