The Corner of My Town

Sometimes the world feels like it's spinning too fast You just wanna hit pause, wish the momentum wouldn't last. The email pile's high, the calendar's tight And you just need a moment to turn off the bright, bright lights. 

So you grab the keys, and you take a slow drive Just down to the corner of your own little life. You might laugh, 'cause it's nothing that you planned Just healing the soul with the quiet of the land. Yeah, the sweetest things in life, they just pass you by, If you don't stop the chasing, and look up to the sky.

I passed that old mailbox a thousand times before Never saw the roses climbing up its door. I never smelled the rain hitting the asphalt just right Didn't notice the colors when the sun gave up the light. All the treasure was here, dressed up like routine.

So you grab the keys, and you take a slow drive Just down to the corner of your own little life. You might laugh, 'cause it's nothing that you planned Just healing the soul with the quiet of the land. Yeah, the sweetest things in life, they just pass you by, If you don't stop the chasing, and look up to the sky.

Maybe the break you need isn't fifty states away It's just the ten quiet minutes at the end of the day. It's letting the simple truths finally hold sway.

And you grab the keys, and you take a slow drive Just down to the corner of your own little life. You might laugh, 'cause it's nothing that you planned Just healing the soul with the quiet of the land. Yeah, the sweetest things in life, they just pass you by, If you don't stop the chasing, and look up to the sky.

Just slow down... Look up, darling. Look up...
