Yeah hey hey yeah
Yeah hey hey yeah..
Yeah hey hey yeah yeah..
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
going home..
anytime soon..
The morning 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 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 holding on tight..
We're traveling
at twice the speed of life
Yeah hey yeah yeah..
Yeah hey yeah yeah yeah..
We worked our way
through college
waiting 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
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 holding on tight..
We're traveling
at twice the speed of life..
Now our oldest girl
is almost grown
She's got a boyfriend
of her own..
I heard her sneaking
out with him last night..
And if she
is anything like me
She's desperate
to be wild and free..
And we know now
It's just a matter of time..
'Til she says
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 holding on tight..
We're traveling
at twice the speed of..
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 holding on tight..
We're traveling
at twice the speed of life..
Speed of life
Ahhhhhh
Hey yeah yeah yeah..
Yeah yeah yeah yeah..
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah..
