Back When Time Was Slow

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
