Seven Miles An Hour

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...
