Lou Kelly - Walk in Slow Motion Lyrics

Since the day I was born
I made sure to take my time
I didn't take my first steps until the age of nine

I drank my bottle of milk
I learned to savor the taste
Took me a month to never let a
Drop to waste, drop to waste

When I was boy
My friends said, "catch us if you can"
That game started so long ago now they've turned into sand

Everyone I know moves on
And they're moving way too fast
They've walked into the future and I'm still
Stuck in the past, stuck in the past

Where's everyone going?
And why are they in such a damn hurry?
I'm comfortable right here
Taking my sweet damn time

Walk in slow motion
Talking low
Tell me, what's the rush?
Tell me, what's the rush?
Ooh
You got no devotion
Talking low
Walk in slow motion

Every girl I meet
Never sticks around
Their excuse is old age or being six feet underground

All of my friends tell me
That I ought to chase some tail
I find it hard enough to keep
Up with a snail, up with a snail

My children grew up fast
Too fast, if I recall
They never slowed down so I outlived them all

Like I said
Everyone I know moves on
And they're moving way too fast
They've walked into the future and I'm still
Stuck in the past, stuck in the past

What are you running around for?
Nothing's gonna go nowhere
Why settle for a sprint when I can outlast a marathon?

Walk in slow motion
Talking low
Tell me, what's the rush?
Tell me, what's the rush?
Ooh
You got no devotion
Talking low
Walk in slow motion

They say Rome was built in a day
What a crime they didn't take their time

Walk in slow motion
Talking low
Tell me, what's the rush?
Tell me, what's the rush?
Ooh
You got no devotion
Talking low
Walk in slow motion
