We both had our dreams when we left this sleepy little town behind
But things have gotten so mixed up, I tell you I've forgotten mine
It all had something to do with money and a better way of life
But when that old alarm gets off it's getting hard to open our eyes

Aw, but somewhere in my memory the afternoon sun's hanging in the trees
And the summer's coming up from the Gulf Coast on a sultry breeze
And me and you are together in a porch swing state of mind
Loving each other to the rhythm of slow passing time

Fell asleep last night to echoes of a song you used to sing with me
And I thought how I missed the life that had such simple harmony
But lately I begun to wonder if the price we paid is too great
When it's backed up bumper to bumper out here on the interstate

Aw, but somewhere in my memory the afternoon sun's hanging in the trees
And the summer's coming up from the Gulf Coast on a sultry breeze
And me and you, we're together in a porch swing state of mind
Loving each other to the rhythm of slow passing time

We're just loving each other to the rhythm of slow passing time
