Talladega's made for racing
Tearing that Alabama pavement up
Whiskey's made for getting there quick
When the cold beer ain't enough
We wish away nineteen and twenty
Just to get to twenty-one
But lately I've been realizing
When it's all said and done
Some things, like a ride in paw paw's truck
Some things, like a deer-stand sun coming up
Some things you don't need faster
Like a tractor blocking the road
Yeah, some things you ain't gonna get back
Some things, you better make 'em last
Some things are worth soaking in
'Cause you just never know
Like the hug you give you mama right before you go
Some things are better slow
From five o'clock on a Friday
'Til that Sunday sun goes down
How your Goodyears' roll
When you know you've got the hottest thing in town
How you float down a small-mouth river
When your limit's just one more
How you pet your dog that's barely holding on
After twelve years on the porch
Yeah, some things, like a ride in paw paw's truck
Some things, like a deer-stand sun coming up
Some things you don't need faster
Like a tractor blocking the road
Yeah, some things you ain't gonna get back
Some things, you better make 'em last
Some things are worth soaking in
'Cause you just never know
Like the hug you give you mama right before you go
Some things are better slow
Just like sand through an hourglass
Some things fly by too fast
Yeah, some things, like a ride in paw paw's truck
Some things, like a deer-stand sun coming up
Some things you don't need faster
Like a tractor blocking the road
Yeah, some things you ain't gonna get back
Some things, you better make 'em last
Some things are worth soaking in
'Cause you just never know
Like the hug you give you mama right before you go
Some things are better slow, slow
Better slow
