Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah [Verse 1] We drove all night to get to Corpus Christi My parents slept right through, they never missed me We were far from sleepin' When the truth began to creep in That we weren't goin' home anytime soon [Verse 2] The morning light sure took us by surprise We grabbed our clothes, watched a beautiful sunrise We were one together And we must have talked forever And it was then and there I realized [Chorus] That I don't wanna wait even one more night It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right Knees buckled, white-knuckled We're holdin' on tight (Holdin' on tight) Travelin' at twice the speed of life [Post-Chorus] Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah [Verse 2] We worked our way through college waiting tables Bought a little white house with a picket fence and cable I asked if he was ready To become a Mom and Daddy And then I found my answer in his eyes And he said [Chorus] I don't wanna wait even one more night It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right Knees buckled, white-knuckled We're holdin' on tight (Holdin' on tight) We're travelin' at twice the speed of life [Bridge] Now, our oldest girl is almost grown She's got a boyfriend of her own I heard her sneakin' out with him last night And if she is anything like me She's desperate to be wild and free And we know now it's just a matter of time 'Til she says [Chorus] I don't wanna wait even one more night It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right Knees buckled, white-knuckled We're holdin' on tight (Holdin' on tight) We're travelin' at twice the speed of— I don't wanna wait even one more night It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right Knees buckled, white-knuckled We're holdin' on tight We're travelin' at twice the speed of life [Post-Chorus] Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah (The speed of life) Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
