Story Behind The Song
A guy that has seen the fast lane and prefers to slow down and not have his life pass before him. He'd rather take a country road and go slower. He doesn't want to forget the moments of each day. He takes one day at a time.

When you get to be too busy, you don't take time to smell the roses in life. You need to slow down and take some time for yourself.

Lyrics
I don't look in the rearview mirror and I don't look to far ahead;
I don't hang out in the fast lane, give me a country road instead.
I see people everywhere, they hurry here and they hustle there. Me, I just prefer to take my time, and Enjoy the Ride.
Got a friend in New York City making more than I ever will.
He spends every waking moment working on the next big deal.
He puts in sixteen-hour days, never feels the sunlight on his face. One day he's gonna wish he'd taken time, to Enjoy the Ride.
CHORUS:
Life's too short, the world spins fast, we race against the hourglass.
Seasons change in a blink of an eye. Man slow down your day to day, too many moments slip away. Don't let all the good stuff pass you buy, Enjoy the Ride.
I make time to watch the sun set with my favorite rod and reel.
Have a hot dog and a cold beer at the local baseball field.
One day I'll settle down I know, sit back and watch my children grow.
Make memories with the love of my life, and Enjoy the Ride.
Repeat Chorus:
Enjoy the Ride.....Enjoy the Ride.
