Time Drifts Slow

Intro

The radio's playing that old song again

About leaving and never coming back

Verse 1

I've been walking these same roads since I was seventeen

Kicking rocks and counting fence posts

Every mile marker tells me I should go

But something keeps me planted here

Chorus

My old guitar is leaning by the door

Creaky floorboards echo the years gone by

Coffee warming up in mama's pot

Time drifts slow as the river runs dry

Verse 2

I watch the sun set on these empty fields

Neighbor's dog sings down the lane

I hear stories in the evening wind

Some things change, some stay the same

Pre-Chorus

Been dreaming of Nashville neon signs

But the porch swing keeps calling me home

Chorus

My old guitar is leaning by the door

Creaky floorboards echo the years gone by

Coffee warming up in mama's pot

Time drifts slow as the river runs dry

Outro

Time drifts slow as the river runs dry

Outro

Yeah, dust on my boots

But I'm standing still
