(Put the phone away. We got nowhere else to be.) (Easy pace... yeah, real easy.) I dropped the gate latch shut behind my boots Folded up the paper with the schedule and the news Told the whole world they can wait until Monday morning Because the sunlight on the cedar porch is warm and soothing I spent forty hours running on someone else's clock Now the only sound I want to hear is gravel down the walk Taking my time at an Easy Pace Nobody rushing me out of this place I let the afternoon roll on by Blue sky opening up in my eyes We earned every minute of the peace we found Living real slow with our feet on the ground My shoulders dropped the minute that the sun broke through I set my keys down and kicked off my muddy shoes I sit right back and let the coastal breeze blow Learning how to let the noisy chatter go I spent forty hours running on someone else's clock Now the only sound I want to hear is gravel down the walk Taking my time at an Easy Pace Nobody rushing me out of this place I let the afternoon roll on by Blue sky opening up in my eyes We earned every minute of the peace we found Living real slow with our feet on the ground (Turn the page. Next chapter.) Let the telephone ring against the wall We are not answering at all Taking my time at an Easy Pace Nobody rushing me out of this place I let the afternoon roll on by Blue sky opening up in my eyes We earned every minute of the peace we found Living real slow with our feet on the ground (Easy pace.) (Just breathe.)
