Putting The Brakes On Time — текст песни (Ty Herndon)

(Jon McElroy/Ned McElroy)

I`m cuttin off the telephone
You unplug the tv
At the rate life`s passin us by
We can`t take the time to breathe

I know you can`t turn time around
But maybe there`s a way to slow it down

Sippin` iced tea from a backporch swing
Layin` by a river as the wold runs by
Makin` sweet love while the Mockingbird sings
We can try, puttin` the brakes on time

When did we last have a heart to heart talk
Over a glass of wine
Or stop and watch the grass grow
Or smell a honeysuckle vine

We can`t put the sand back in the hourglass
But we can hold each other baby
And make the weekend last

Sippin` iced tea from a backporch swing
Layin` by a river as the wold runs by
Makin` sweet love while the Mockingbird sings
You and I, puttin` the brakes on time

Puttin` the brakes on time

We`ve been sippin` iced tea from the backporch swing
Lay down by the river as the world runs by
Make sweet love while the Mockingbird songs
Can`t stop the clock but we can`t sure enough try
To put the brakes, put the brakes on time
