Seven Miles An Hour Lyrics - Marshall Crenshaw

Well I've got a new job in a gray office tower 

And I'm stuck here for around another hour 

Wearing a dark frown 

Watching the second hand go 'round 

When I can, I'll leave without hesitation 

And make my way on to a better destination 

Racing the daylight 

Back to where I was last night 

Going seven miles an hour, can't slow down 

Seven miles an hour, burnin' the ground 

'Cause I've got a good thing waiting way across town 

Seven miles an hour, can't slow down 

The sidewalk's jammed up 

Now I wanna move in a hurry 

Have I found an angel? Well, I think she might be 

If there ever was one, can't just walk, I've got to run 

Seven miles an hour, can't slow down 

Seven miles an hour, burnin' the ground 

Well I gotta good thing waiting way across town 

Seven miles an hour can't slow down 

Racing the daylight 

Back to where I was last night 

Seven miles an hour, can't slow down 

Seven miles an hour, burnin' the ground 

'Cause I got a good thing waiting way across town 

Seven miles an hour, can't slow down 

Seven miles an hour, can't slow down 

Seven miles an hour, can't slow down 

Seven miles an hour 

Seven miles an hour, can't slow down 

Seven miles an hour, can't slow down
