Speed of Life

******** Intro - (Verse 1) We drove all night to get to Corpus Christi My parents slept right through They never missed me We were far from sleepin' When the truth began to creep in That we weren't goin' home anytime soon (Verse 2) The mornin' light sure took us by surprise We grabbed our clothes Watched a beautiful sunrise We were one together And we must have talked forever And it was then and there I realized that (Chorus) I don't want to wait even one more night It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right Knees buckled, white knuckled We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight) (We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life (Yea, yea, yeah yeah) (Yea, yea, yeah yeah) (Yea, yea, yeah yeah yeah) (Verse 3) We worked our way through college waitin' tables Bought a little white house with a picket fence and cable I asked if he was ready To become a Mom and Daddy And then I found my answer in his eyes And he said, (Chorus) I don't want to wait even one more night It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right Knees buckled, white knuckled We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight) (We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life (Bridge) Now, our oldest girl is almost grown She's got a boyfriend of her own I heard her sneakin' out with him last night And if she's anything like me She's desperate to be wild and free We know now it's just a matter of time 'Til she says... (Chorus) I don't want to wait even one more night <---walk It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right Knees buckled, white knuckled We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight) (We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life I don't want to wait even one more night It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right Knees buckled, white knuckled We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight) (We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life (Yea, yea, yeah yeah) (Yea, yea, yeah yeah) (Yea, yea, yeah yeah yeah) (Yea, yea, yeah yeah) (Yea, yea, yeah yeah) (Yea, yea, yeah yeah yeah) chords by: [email protected]
