Lyrics

Standing Still:

I like the morning sun and some train wheels rolling
And the sound of the birds and a warm wind blowing
And some time with you before it’s time to go
And a slow goodbye and a sweet hello

I like a two lane highway with some room to drive
And the feeling that it’s good just to be alive
I like hearing that parachute pop, I like a soft place to land
And hearing three words, “babe, I understand”

That’s what I like, to feel like this
I like a cold river, I like a soft warm kiss
Some time with you
Yeah, what a thrill
Time keeps rolling on, but we’re standing still

I like a hammer when it’s ringing, I like the sound of laughter
A little sizzle on the grill, sometimes that’s all I’m after
So give me a few of my vices, and give me something new
And give me three words baby, tell me,“I love you”

And after it rains I like the way it smells
And sometimes breaking glass sounds like a million bells
I like any wild place where a man’s a guest
And the feel of a guitar against my chest

That’s what I like, to feel like this
I like a wild river, I like a soft warm kiss
Some time with you
Yeah, what a thrill
Time keeps rolling on, but we’re standing still
