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
