Putting The Brakes On Time

<br>(Jon McElroy/Ned McElroy)<br><br>I`m cuttin off the telephone<br>You unplug the tv<br>At the rate life`s passin us by<br>We can`t take the time to breathe<br><br>I know you can`t turn time around<br>But maybe there`s a way to slow it down<br><br>Sippin` iced tea from a backporch swing<br>Layin` by a river as the wold runs by<br>Makin` sweet love while the Mockingbird sings<br>We can try, puttin` the brakes on time<br><br>When did we last have a heart to heart talk<br>Over a glass of wine<br>Or stop and watch the grass grow<br>Or smell a honeysuckle vine<br><br>We can`t put the sand back in the hourglass<br>But we can hold each other baby<br>And make the weekend last<br><br>Sippin` iced tea from a backporch swing<br>Layin` by a river as the wold runs by<br>Makin` sweet love while the Mockingbird sings<br>You and I, puttin` the brakes on time<br><br>Puttin` the brakes on time<br><br>We`ve been sippin` iced tea from the backporch swing<br>Lay down by the river as the world runs by<br>Make sweet love while the Mockingbird songs<br>Can`t stop the clock but we can`t sure enough try<br>To put the brakes, put the brakes on time
