Too Fast
Redemption Road: Jason Aldean's Quest for a Slower Life
Lyrics
Want to be the man that you thought I was
Desire to live up to the expectations of being seen as a good person in your eyes
I want to be the man that made you fall in love
Wishing to become the person who captured your love initially
I can't undo everything I've done
Regret over past actions that cannot be changed
Let me tell you right now
Expressing the importance of the listener in the singer's life
Baby, you're the only one
Affirmation of the listener's unique significance
I don't want to be a restless soul
Desire to avoid feeling unsettled or without direction
Running on empty, burning up the road
Feeling drained while constantly on the move
Never knowing what I'm trying to find
Uncertainty about goals or purposes
While the wheels keep turning in the back of my mind
Anxiety or thoughts persisting despite distractions
I don't want to take the long way home
Choosing to avoid prolonging the journey back to stability
Sleeping on the roadside, move along
Living a transient lifestyle, ready to continue the journey
Heading about, foot on the gas, living my life too fast
Actively moving forward with high speed, not savoring moments
I've been making a living, not making a life
Prioritizing work over personal fulfillment
And knowing that now, well it cuts like a knife
Realization of the impact of choices made in the past
The way it's been ain't how it's gonna be
Determination to change and improve from this point onward
Baby, starting right now, gonna give you the best of me
Commitment to offering the best self to the listener from now on
I don't want to be a restless soul
Reiteration of the desire to avoid feeling unsettled or without direction
Running on empty, burning up the road
Feeling emotionally exhausted from constant movement
Never knowing what I'm trying to find
Feeling lost or unclear about personal objectives
While the wheels keep turning in the back of my mind
Continuous mental preoccupation despite physical actions
I don't want to take the long way home
Choosing not to prolong the journey back to stability
Sleeping on the roadside, move along
Living transiently, ready to continue the journey
Heading about, foot on the gas, living my life too fast
Actively moving forward with high speed, not savoring moments
Ooh, I've been a rolling stone
Life characterized by constant movement and change
I think it's time for me to roll on home
Feeling the need to return to a stable and settled life
I don't want to be a restless soul
Desire to avoid feeling unsettled or without direction
Running on empty, burning up the road
Feeling drained while constantly on the move
Never knowing what I'm trying to find
Uncertainty about goals or purposes
While the wheels keep turning in the back of my mind
Anxiety or thoughts persisting despite distractions
I don't want to take the long way home
Choosing not to prolong the journey back to stability
Sleeping on the roadside, move along
Living transiently, ready to continue the journey
Heading about, foot on the gas, living my life too fast
Actively moving forward with high speed, not savoring moments
Living my life too fast
Living life in a way that doesn’t allow for appreciation of moments
