Take Your Time

I've got the devil in my pocket Got a cross around my neck I got a girl so far away Feels like years since I've touched her face I got a yearnin' baby for a new start 'Cause it hurts too much to stay the same I got a full bottle of whiskey And I ain't left the house in days Take your time Slow down and take your time Cause I'm startin' to feel long in the tooth Gotta find a way to age like wine Take your time Slow down and take your time Well they say the world can change in the blink of an eye Well I read in the paper today about a boy who lost his life He's goin' 100 on the highway He's got liquor flowin' in his veins Well he's 26 years old But not too young to outrun his fate So take your time Slow down and take your time 'Cause your youth is more than just a word That will make you cross the line Take your time Slow down and take your time Cause the world will take your plans And turn 'em upside down Your heart can beat so fast It'll turn your body inside out Do you believe in faith and God and love live in this old town Take your time Slow down and take your time I've got the devil in my pocket Got a cross around my neck I got a girl so far away Seems like years since I've touched her face I got a yearning baby for a new start 'Cause it hurts too much to stay the same I got an empty bottle of whiskey Readin' the good book page for page Take your time Slow down and take your time 'Cause I'm startin' to feel long in the tooth Gotta find a way to age like wine Take your time Slow down and take your time 'Cause your youth is more than just a word That will make you cross the line Take your time Slow down and take your time I'm gonna take my time Be sure to take your time
