Lyrics
THE SPEED OF MY HEART
Why today of all days
Did they have to close 2 lanes on the interstate
Lord knows I’m in a rush
Maybe He can help speed up this snail’s pace
Cause my baby’s waiting for me
Just off exit 153
If this car was movin’
As fast as my heart’s poundin’
I’d be drivin’ a hundred miles a minute
I’d be in his lovin’ arms
And he wouldn’t be so far
If only this car
Was movin’ at the speed of my heart
I’ve been visiting my mamma
In Terre Haute, Indiana, for the past week
I just got back in town
I’m gonna get to him somehow, that’s a guarantee
If only these truckers knew
How much I need him, they’d let me through
If this car was movin’
As fast as my heart’s poundin’
I’d be drivin’ a hundred miles a minute
I’d be in his lovin’ arms
And he wouldn’t be so far
If only this car
Was movin’ at the speed of my heart
I’ve only got two more miles to go
How I wish I could cruise right through
This wall of orange cones
If this car was movin’
As fast as my heart’s poundin’
I’d be drivin’ a hundred miles a minute
I’d be in his lovin’ arms
And he wouldn’t be so far
If only this car, if only this car
Was movin’ at the speed of my heart
