Take a Little Longer

Driving through West Virginia
There’s no such thing as going straight
It may take an hour or two
Just to get to the interstate
But I don’t mind, most of the time
Because I love my mountain home
I’ll take a back road
Crank up John Denver and sing along
It might take a little longer going that way
But why am I in such a hurry anyway?
I can slow down, whoa
It’ll be okay
To take a little longer
People in the country
We don’t always like to change
Lots of us out here
Think some of these modern trends are a little strange
Plug in cars, and Tik Tok stars, and self-harm scars
Just ain’t for me
I still read the Bible
And I have faith in One who I cannot see
It might take a little longer to progress that way
But why am I in such a hurry anyway?
I can slow down, whoa
It’ll be okay
To take a little longer
It might take a little longer going that way
But why are we in such a hurry anyway?
We can slow down, whoa
It’ll be okay
To take a little longer
We can slow down, whoa
It’ll be okay
To take a little longer

Leather steering wheel in my hand
Classic rock on the radio
Getting passed by a minivan
Don't care, 'cause I'm going slow
Cold A/C on my face
Wife's hand on my knee
Finally going our own pace
This road is just for her and me
Tamiami Trail, take me away from civilization
I'm one hour removed from my list of obligations
I'm taking my time, enjoying the ride to my destination
I'm in no hurry
I threw my schedule out for 41 South
Port Charlotte in 26 miles
Fort Myers in 28 more
Freedom and a full tank of gas
This is what I've been waiting for
South Florida's in my head
Yellow sun in a royal blue sky
I'll turn off to Homestead
And we'll be in Marathon tonight
Paradise is within our reach
Iced tea on the beach
Seafood restaurant on the bay
Local band setting up to play
