I've gone a mile a minute
Down a one way track
I hit the city limits
Never looking back
Tried to take it easy
Shift on down a gear
I'd like to smell the roses
Before they disappear

Just around the corner
Just across the hill
If I could beat the clock I'd find some
Time to kill

I need a long vacation
A thirty hour day
The dreams that I've been chasing
Are just a step away
I wish I had a second
Right now I've got to run
I've still got miles to go
Before this day is done

Just around the corner
Just across the hill
If I could beat the clock
I'd find some time to kill
I need to take it easy
Shift on down a gear
I've got to smell those roses
Before they disappear
Just around the corner
Just across the hill
If I could beat the clock
I'd find some time to kill
