Too Much Too Soon - Matthew Strachan

Too Much Too Soon Lyrics

Think I'll stay in today
Made the same choice yesterday
Kick off my shoes - if I put 'em on yet
Seems that I've been here so long
It'd be a shame to be movin' on
And take a chance I may come to regret
There's folks been sayin' I'm a lazy fool
But I ain't ventured nothin' since I made myself this rule
Don't wanna see too much of Iowa too soon
California stands in line with Texas
Don't need the sky lit up by any foreign moon
I like it fine just here
Don't wanna see too much of anywhere too soon
My dad he used to say,
"Industry and hard work pay

Discipline will get you where you're goin'"
Since I had no place to go
I thought I'd take it good and slow
Take my time and watch the water flowin'
Some say I've been hidin' from the sun
But I believe I'm resting till my time to shine has come
Don't wanna see too much of Oregon too soon
Florida can wait along with Kansas
Don't need the sky lit up by any foreign moon
I like it fine just here
Don't wanna see too much of anywhere too soon
Once I get goin' you won't see my ass for dust
It’s Paris, London, New York, Vegas, Hollywood or bust
But till the phone call comes I'll park myself right here
No need to shift just yet when I 'm fine in bottom gear
Don't wanna see too much of Washington too soon
New England - get in line with Dixie
Don't need the sky lit bright by any foreign moon
I like it fine just here
Don't wanna see too much of anywhere too soon
