Speed Of Life - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Time can fly when you’re having fun

Time drags by when you miss someone

We say hello and we say goodbye

Coming and going at the speed of life

You start out crawling then you learn to walk

You run into someone and then you fall

The band plays on as worlds collide

Drums keep beating at the speed of life

Come on baby ride with me

Four strong winds, seven deep seas

A big blue ball flying through space

Can’t turn back not a minute to waste

Womb to the tomb, blink of an eye

Everything’s moving at the speed of life

Well I don’t know what the future holds

But I been watching the river flow

It can sink quick and it can rise high

Always rolling at the speed of life

Come on baby ride with me

Four strong winds, seven deep seas

A big blue ball flying through space

Can’t turn back not a minute to waste

Womb to the tomb, the blink of an eye

Everything’s moving at the speed of life

Lady luck, father time

Everything’s moving at the speed… of life
