Putting The Brakes On Time

I'm cuttin' off the telephone You unplug the TV At the rate life's pa*sin' us by We can't take the time to breathe I know you can't turn time around But maybe there's a way to slow it down Sippin' iced tea from a backporch swing Layin' by a river as the wold runs by Makin' sweet love while the mockingbird sings We can try, puttin' the brakes on time When did we last have a heart to heart talk? Over a gla*s of wine Or stop and watch the gra*s grow Or smell a honeys*ckle vine We can't put the sand back in the hourgla*s But we can hold each other, baby And make this weekend last Sippin' iced tea from a backporch swing Layin' by a river as the wold runs by Makin' sweet love while the mockingbird sings You and I puttin' the brakes on time Puttin' the brakes on time, yeah, yeah, yeah We've been sippin' iced tea from the backporch swing Lay down by the river as the world runs by Make sweet love while the mockingbird sings Can't stop the clock but we can't sure enough try To put the brakes, put the brakes on time To put the brakes, put the brakes on time We can slow it down, baby And put the brakes on time We can slow it down, baby And put the brakes on time, yeah
