A song about heading up the Hudson River from NYC for some peace and quiet.

“Slow Lane”

Spent some time in New York City
where I lost my mind
Yellow cab like removing a scab
to make the Cross Town line
I met a girl there riding ‘tween Brooklyn and Queens
with the look in her eye like she knew what it means
to take the slow lane
she took the slow lane

Take the slow lane

I held a bottle with a message inside
but my ticket’s expired
it happens all the time
in the fast lane
People push’n and shov’n a lot
trying hard to breathe just to stay on top
in the fast lane

Wish I had the courage for the upstate line
we could jump on a train
and leave all behind
for that slow lane

Where the air is clear
and the water is fine
goes straight to my head
like that bubbling wine
from the fast lane

ohhhh in the slow lane
let’s take the slow lane
You and me in the slow lane

Hey baby I dont care we go
start by tracing the Hudson
to the start of its flow
for the slow lane.

Hold my hand
for the Tear in the Clouds
let’s head on up
watch the other folks down
from the slow lane.

Where the sky is brighter
than on New Years Eve,
and the leaves are brighter than the emerald green!
in our slow lane..

The neon burns
from the stars so bright
there’s no sirens call
in the dead of the night
in the slow lane

So meet me at the corner of Broadway and Pine
cause I’ve hit the Wall
for the very last time
in this fast lane

Hold my hand for the Tear in the Clouds
let’s swap out the city
for them evergreen sounds
in our slow lane
We’ll leave it all for the slow lane
you and me in the slow lane
The slow lane
You and me in the slow lane
You and me in the slow lane
