MY HURRY DONE BROKE
Life's Pace: When the Rush Breaks, Wisdom Speaks
Lyrics
A guy came up behind me while I was walkin' down the hall
A person approached me from behind while I was walking in a corridor.
He didn’t seem to have no patience at all
This person seemed impatient.
He said he was in a hurry and he gave me a poke
He claimed to be in a hurry and physically nudged me.
I said I’d like to help you friend, but my hurry done broke
I expressed my willingness to help, but I conveyed that I am not in a rush.
I was moving at my own pace, goin' where I needed to be
I was moving at my own comfortable speed, heading to my destination.
When some kid started pushin', trying to get around me
A young person began pushing me, wanting to pass.
He said “Hurry up pops, I gotta see my bride”
He urgently mentioned he needed to see his bride.
I said “I’d I’m sorry son but my hurry died”
I apologized, explaining that I'm not hurrying because my sense of urgency has diminished.
I’ve lived enough years that I deserve a break,
Having lived a significant number of years, I feel entitled to a rest or respite.
There’s only so much abuse one body can take
There's a limit to the physical strain one can endure.
Walkin' down the street and this Bozo pushed me out of his way
While walking on the street, someone rudely shoved me aside.
They said “move it along gramps, you’re wastin' my day”
They told me to move quickly, implying that I'm wasting their time.
He said “old man, you be movin' like you’re tired
The person accused me of moving slowly due to fatigue.
I said it’s more than that sport, my hurry done expired
I clarified that it's more than just tiredness; my sense of urgency has expired.
I’ve lived enough years that I deserve a break,
Reiterating the idea that I've lived long enough to deserve a break.
There’s only so much abuse one body can take
Highlighting the concept that the body has its limits when it comes to enduring hardships.
If I move slow it’s cause a good life can be hard
If I move slowly, it's because a fulfilling life can be challenging, and hard work leaves its marks.
And honest labor leaves a man bent and scarred
Addressing the misconception that the situation is amusing; it's a serious matter.
You may think it’s funny, but it ain’t it ain’t no joke
Emphasizing that I'm doing my best, but my sense of urgency has ceased to exist.
I’m goin' as fast as I can, my hurry done broke
Concluding with the assertion that I'm moving at my maximum speed, but my hurry is no longer present.
