Slow As I Could
Mitch Rossell
I told her 7 o'clock
Yeah, but in the back of my mind
I'm thinking just play it cool man
Whatever you do
Don't get there on time
But now I'm 20 minutes early
Sitting in her driveway
Killing time, kicking myself
Damn this old Tacoma
For blowing my cover
And flying like a bat out of hell
Got here as slow as I could
Tried not to run any lights
Tried to drive like I should
But thinking 'bout how she looks
Drove me out of my mind
Yeah the fire in her eyes in my head
Put the lead on my foot
Got here as slow as I could
Well it's a little too late
To burn up some clock
I should've stop by the bank
Topped off the tank
And drove 'round the block
Yeah she's already seen me
She just sent me a message
Sayin' she'll be out in a few
I gotta a thumbs up dialed up
Take you time typed up
Sending anything but the truth
Got here as slow as I could
Tried not to run any lights
Tried to drive like I should
But thinking 'bout how she looks
Drove me out of my mind
Yeah the fire in her eyes in my head
Put the lead on my foot
Got here as slow as I could
It's 5 minutes too soon
She's flying out the door
I meet her in the grass between my truck and her porch
She smiles at me
And says: I couldn't wait no more
Got here as slow as I could
Yeah the fire in her eyes in my head
Put the lead on my foot
Got here as slow as I could
Yeah, as slow as I could
