Good Things Take Time

Artist: Cory Asbury Album: Pioneer (Deluxe Edition) Category: Pop
Front porch in October
Time's a'changing with the leaves
Granddad sipping coffee black
He ain't got no place to be
Life makes sense in a rocking chair
Swaying to the stories of a man who's seen some things

He'd say, "Boy, slow your roll down
'Cause I was once your age
I tried like hell to hurry life up
I couldn't ever stand to wait
When you're 15 going on 53
The future always feels like a million miles away

Take a lesson from the whiskey
A little wisdom from the wine
You can't rush real love or trust
And a good friend's hard to find
So slow it down, drink it up
80 years really ain't that much to find
Good things take time."

He'd say, "Boy, don't get hung up
On the ones that got away
The only hearts that find true love
Are the hearts that learn to break
One day you're gonna look back and laugh
And thank the good Lord for the one that was worth the wait

Take a lesson from the whiskey
A little wisdom from the wine
You can't rush real love or trust
And a good friend's hard to find
So slow it down, drink it up
80 years really ain't that much to find
Good things take time."

They take time

Man, it feels like yesterday
I was sitting here with you
Seeing your empty rocking chair
Still breaks my heart in two
I remember every word you said
Like a soundtrack in the back of my head
And now, I know that every word was true
And after all these years I still hear you

"Take a lesson from the whiskey
A little wisdom from the wine
You can't rush real love or trust
And a good friend's hard to find
So slow it down, drink it up
80 years really ain't that much to find
Good things
You find
Good things take time
So, take your time."
