Life is a journey but it isn’t a race
All things in nature have a time and a pace
Given the choice it’s always better to take
The slow road home

It's so much sweeter if you're willing to wait
It’s not a question of how long it’ll take
It’s much less travelled but it’ never too late
For the slow road home

The slow road home
Don’t serve me coffee in Styrofoam
The slow road home
Show me the slow road home
Show me the slow road home

I learnt my lesson and I learnt it so well
Chased those illusions to the borders of hell
But just in time I heard the liberty bell
On the slow road home

You probably think your life is safe and sublime
But the pace you’re living at is surely a crime
I can almost hear you say you don’t have the time
For the slow road home

The slow road home
Don’t serve me coffee in Styrofoam
The slow road home
Show me the slow road home
Show me the slow road home

Each day I rise above the smoke and the talk
Escape the madness and I come to that fork
And know for certain I am ready to walk
The slow road home

There's only one more thing that I want to say
Don't let the Kings of Progress lead you astray
Their golden highways will never replace
The slow road home

The slow road home
Don’t serve me coffee in Styrofoam
The slow road home
Show me the slow road home
Show me the slow road home
Show me the slow road home yeah
Show me the slow road home

Show me the slow road home (The slow road home)
(The slow road home)
Show me the slow road home yeah (The slow road home)
(The slow road home)
Now take the slow road home (The slow road home)
(The slow road home)
Show me the slow road home (The slow road home)
(The slow road home)
I'll take the slow road home (The slow road home)
(The slow road home)
(The slow)
