My old man said take
it slow and steady
Cause the sweet things take their
own sweet time
You'll find a good woman when
you're good and ready
Oh, but I had other things in mind
So I took off like a jackrabbit runnin'
Got so far out in front that I
thought that I'd won it
But when I got to the end
I didn't have nothin'
Now I'm thinkin' that
turtle was on to somethin'
Well, I went fast and I went hard
Yeah, I tore it up all over town
Till I found a good woman with
an open heart
And she tried her best to settle me down
So I took off like a jackrabbit runnin'
Got so far out in front that I
thought that I'd won it
But when I got to the end
I didn't have nothin'
Now I'm thinkin' that turtle's
on to somethin'
I take a deep breath in and let
a deep one out
And let a little dust settle on my boots I
turn my chair so I can just look out
On a piece of land where I can
grow some roots
Cause when I took off like a jackrabbit running I
got so far out in front that I thought that
I'd won it
But when I got to the end,
I didn't have nothin'
Now I'm thinkin' that turtle was
on somethin'
Thought I knew it all, but
I didn't know nothin'
Now I see that turtle was
on somethin'
You
