Arriving Lyrics

Time is chasing behind me I'm turning 29

I'm not racing to be a winner I'm just racing to arrive

I might not ever get a trophy won't win the Nobel prize

Might not be honored by at your speeches

I'd just be honored to arrive

I take things slow

So much so that they're honking while I'm driving

Ah, even when I go

Just know I'm never really leaving

I'm arriving

There's a man at the truck stop off highway 94

Playing music in the parking lot outside the quick store

He said "I used to ride the fast lane with the pedal to the floor"

Now I'm happy by my lonesome playing music I adore

I take things slow

So much so that they're honking while I'm driving

Ah, even when I go

Just know I'm never really leaving

I'm arriving

I hear at the finish line they stopped keeping track of time

Now they're only asking if you're happy

Did you make some people smile

I've spent all my life making sure the timing's right

Now I'm trading in my stop watch for a guitar and I'll sit and rest a while

I take things slow

So much so that they're honking while I'm driving

Ah, even when I go

Just know I'm never really leaving

I'm arriving
