Sugarland - Speed of Life lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

We drove all night to get to Corpus Christi

My parents slept right through, they never missed me

We were far from sleep 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 wanna 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 (holding on tight)

We're traveling at twice the speed of life

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 wanna 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 (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'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

I don't wanna 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 (holding on tight)

We're traveling at twice the speed of life

I don't wanna 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, yeah, yeah...
