slowly passin' time

we both had our dreams when we left this sleepy little town behind, but things have gotten so mixed up, i tell you i've forgotten mine, it all had something to do with money and a better way of life, but when that old alarm gets off it's getting hard to open our eyes, aw, but somewhere in my memory the afternoon sun's hanging in the trees, and the summer's coming up from the gulf coast on a sultry breeze, and me and you are together in a porch swing state of mind, loving each other to the rhythm of slow passing time, fell asleep last night to echoes of a song you used to sing with me, and i thought how i missed the life that had such simple harmony, but lately i begun to wonder if the price we paid is too great, when it's backed up bumper to bumper out here on the interstate, aw, but somewhere in my memory the afternoon sun's hanging in the trees, and the summer's coming up from the gulf coast on a sultry breeze, and me and you, we're together in a porch swing state of mind, loving each other to the rhythm of slow passing time, we're just loving each other to the rhythm of slow passing time
