LIFE IN THE SLOW LANE
Kyle Jackson-Rachky, Jeff Roe, Steve Smentek
[VERSE 1]
I can’t remember the last time
Didn’t have a million things to do
Man, I’ve forgotten what it feels like
To take in a lakeside view
Livin’ in a world that’s always on I just wanna switch it off and get gone [CHORUS] I wanna take a long drive down Some red clay road Where I can’t be found Let it heal my soul Take my- foot off the gas Watch the world pass Ain’t no winnin’ this rat race I wanna get back to life Life in the slow lane [VERSE 2] Give me a cold one by a campfire While I strum this old guitar Take a deep breath, smell the pine trees Get lost looking up at the stars
Stop thinking ‘bout what's next
Get a little more of a little less
[CHORUS]
Livin’ in a world that’s always on I just wanna switch it off [CHORUS]

This song reminds of “Already Gone” a tune by the Eagles (of course without the “I will sing this victory song” lyrics.) But while that song celebrates leaving a bad relationship and feeling empowered this song doesn’t really say anything except maybe people are busy. To improve it, add a verse about something real in your life but keep the upbeat chorus etc and then I think you might have something.
