Stuck Behind a Tractor
Written by Tommy Atkins

For the last few years, I’ve had my foot to the floor
Flat out in the fast lane and laying on the horn
Man, I’ve been obsessed with getting where I wanna be
Making no time for myself or anybody else, but

Now the world’s standing still, instead of flying past
Forcing me to take my foot off the gas

Like I’m stuck behind a tractor on a country road
Stood behind an old man at the grocery store
It’s time to take a breath, destress, learn to take it slow
Like I’m stuck behind a tractor on a country road, oh…

Used to piss me off, having to slow down
Now, I’ve got my arm out the window and I’m finally looking round
At the birds in the trees, the wind dancing across the fields
Taking in the sunrise with my baby by my side

Man, it’s been too long since I made time for this
Gotta make a change and start to live

Like I’m stuck behind a tractor on a country road
Stood behind an old man at the grocery store
It’s time to take a breath, destress, learn to take it slow
Like I’m stuck behind a tractor on a country road, oh…

Like I’m stuck behind a tractor on a country road
Stood behind an old man at the grocery store, baby
Every once in a while, it’s just good for your soul
To get stuck behind a tractor on a country road

Like I’m stuck behind a tractor on a country road
Stood behind an old man at the grocery store
It’s time to take a breath, destress, learn to take it slow
Like I’m stuck behind a tractor on a country road
Stuck behind a tractor on a country road, oh…
