Sugarland - Speed Of Life Lyrics
We drove all night to get to Corpus ChristiMy parents slept right through, they never missed meWe were far from sleepin when the truth began to creep inThat we werent going home anytime soonThe morning light sure took us by surpriseWe grabbed our clothes, watched a beautiful sunriseWe were one together and must have talked foreverAnd it was then and there I realizedI dont want to wait even one more nightIts hard to slow down when it feels so rightKnees buckled, white knuckled, were holding on tightWere traveling at twice the speed of lifeWe worked our way through college waiting tablesBought a little white house with a picket fence and cableI asked if he was ready to become a mom and daddyAnd then I found my answer in his eyesAnd he saidI dont want to wait even one more nightIts hard to slow down when it feels so rightKnees buckled, white knuckled, were holding on tightWere traveling at twice the speed of lifeNow our oldest girl is almost grownShes got a boyfriend of her ownI heard her sneaking out with him last nightAnd is she is anything like meShes desperate to be wild and freeWe know its just a matter of timeTil she saysI dont want to wait even one more nightIts hard to slow down when it feels so rightKnees buckled, white knuckled, were holding on tightWere traveling at twice the speed of life
