Verse 1
Daddy’s truck had a bench seat tear
Radio low, just enough to hear
Gravel roads and a Friday sky
We didn’t have much, but we got by
Mama laughed on the front porch swing
Summer nights didn’t owe us a thing
Dreams were small, but they felt real
Back when life knew how to heal
Chorus
Back when time was slow
And love was something you could hold
When a promise meant your name
And pride didn’t need the fame
Yeah, I miss the way we used to know
Who we were…
Back when time was slow
Verse 2
High school lights on a fall night game
Same old town, but we chased big names
First kiss tasted like cheap wine
Thought forever had plenty of time
Now the signs all changed their face
Old friends scattered all over the place
I still drive past where we said “someday”
But someday never stayed
Chorus
Back when time was slow
And hearts didn’t break so cold
When sorry fixed most things
And faith was more than words we sing
Yeah, I miss the truth we used to know
Back when time was slow
Bridge
Maybe I’m older, maybe I see
How fast you lose what you don’t keep
I’d trade a year for one more mile
Down that road that made me smile
Verse 3
Daddy’s gone, but his voice remains
“Son, do right when you can’t explain”
Mama’s porch still creaks the same
Like it’s calling out my name
Final Chorus
Back when time was slow
When love was strong and money low
When Sunday meant a prayer
And home was always there
Yeah, I’d give this world I know
For one more day
Back when time was slow
Outro
Sun goes down, same as it did
Guess some things still forgive
I close my eyes… and there I go
Back when time was slow
