Jeff Black Standing Still
Standing Still
here comes that highway honey
ain't much behind us but the road
let's hit that high road running
the morning sky shines of blue and gold
pretty soon we'll cross the line babe
we should have left a long long time ago
I'm pulling out of the slow lane
I don't know what we've been waiting for
I do admire patience
sometimes I've got to ask for more
this ain't no treadmill baby
this here's a trip around the world
I won't pass on no curve
I won't pass on no hills
I won't pass until I'm sure
I can pass them like their standin still
I can pass them like their standin still
blow a kiss and wave goodbye babe
roll the window down and touch the wind
I know you worried honey
that you won't see that place again
what with all these odds here against us
I promise babe the distance is your friend
It's time
now you and me we've paid our dues
let's fly and find our place in the sun
where our dreams come true
I won't pass on no curve
I won't pass on no hills
I won't pass until I'm sure
I can pass them like their standin still
(additional verse)
absence makes the heart grow fonder
so you and I don't have to wander far
see ourselves as born together
you look so brave and beautiful
this ain't no treadmill baby
this here's a trip around the world
