about

Sometimes you just have to trust the muse, even though you know she'll beat you up and take you down some treacherous paths sometimes. And sometimes, she'll make you write really sappy country songs. She surely doesn't always play nice, does she?

75 minutes, soup-to-nuts ...

lyrics

well, the crowd has mostly gone
and I saw a bridesmaid yawn
they’re bringing up the lights
and the band, they took their shot
played that tune that’s always hot
but no one bites

how much champagne did you drink?
every time those glasses clinked
saw you come alive
I’m just sorry how we fought
all that baggage that we brought
we’ve got a ways to drive

and I’m hoping that we’ve got
time to tie the knot on one last song

something slow
something sweet
something gets us on our feet
been so long since the last we had this dance
one that’s mercy
to our ears
one that brings back all the years
one that takes us back
to why we took this chance
play us something slow

I can see, before you speak
you’ve already halfway through next week
which days you’ve got the kids
and I’ve been thinking small and big
and if I oughta take that gig
will that put us on the skids?

but then I saw that brand-new bride
bathed in joy, a flood of pride
sparkler in her hand
and oh but once upon a time
that was us, without a dime
listening to the band

so I’m hoping that we’ve got
time to tie the knot on one last song

something slow
something sweet
something gets us on our feet
been so long since the last we had this dance
one that’s mercy
to our ears
one that brings back all the years
one that takes us back
to why we took this chance
play us something slow
