Putting The Breaks On Time

I'm cutting off the telephone
You unplug the TV
At the rate life's passing 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
Sipping iced tea from a back porch swing
Laying by a river as the world runs by
Making sweet love while the mockingbird sings
We can try putting the breaks on time
When did we last have a heart to heart talk
Over a glass of wine
Or stop and watch the grass grow
Or smell a honeysuckle vine
We can't put the sand back in the hourglass
But we could hold each other, baby
And make this weekend last
Sipping iced tea from a back porch swing
Laying by a river as the world runs by
Making sweet love while the mockingbird sings
You and I putting the breaks on time
Putting the breaks on time
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We can sip an iced tea from a back porch swing
Lay down by a river as the world runs by
Make sweet love while the mockingbird sings
Can't stop the clock but we can sure enough try
To put the breaks
Put the breaks on time
Put the breaks
Put the breaks on time
We can slow it down, baby
And put the breaks on time
We can slow it down, baby
And put the breaks on time, yeah
