30 years ago
I drove the long way home
There was no GPS
If you were lost you'd have to guess

The sound of the road
Ain't nothing on the radio
You'd get there when you got there
The world it seemed less scared

Technology is great
But I wish that it would wait

Oh oh oh oh oh
I miss the slow life
We used to have

In the backyard with the trees
Just myself and the breeze
If someone did stop by
It was a surprise

If I wanted to know your thoughts
We would have to talk
Whatever was on your mind
I'd always have the time

Oh oh oh oh oh
I miss the slow life
We used to have
Oh oh oh oh oh
I miss the slow life
And sometimes it makes me sad

Hanging out with friends
Until the good times end
The only phone was on the wall
Someone brought a bottle and you'd play guitar

It was simpler back when
Things moved different then
Is it memory or youth
I couldn't tell you the truth

Technology is great
But I wish that it would wait

Oh oh oh oh oh
I miss the slow life
We used to have
Oh oh oh oh oh
I miss the slow life
And sometimes it makes me sad
