Can We Hurry Up

Can we hurry up

So we can hurry up

Gotta get there (now!)

Then we'll hurry up

She's sittin' next to me

Going out of her mind

Face buried in that phone

Leaving the world behind

Thumbs move like lightning

But her eyes are somewhere else

Rushing to get nowhere

Chasing something for herself

And she said

Can we hurry up

So we can hurry up

Gotta get there (now!)

Then we'll hurry up

Downtown, movies, the mall

Something's gotta give

Gotta fill that shopping cart

She's got a life to live

Don't you dare ask her why

Don't even start to say

She just knows she's gotta go

So get out of the way!

And she said

Can we hurry up

So we can hurry up

Gotta get there (now!)

Then we'll hurry up

Now I've been driving these roads a long long time

She never looked up once to see the sky

She's got a restless soul and I don't know why

So I'll step aside and let the guitar try (Else I'll lose my mind!!!)

One day she'll slow down

Look up from that screen

Realize the ride itself

Is part of the dream

But until that day comes I'll just

Shake my head and smile

And drive her somewhere, nowhere...

Just one more mile!

Can we hurry up

So we can hurry up

Gotta get there (now!)

Then we'll hurry up

And when we get there...

She'll probably wanna leave

Can we hurry up

So we can hurry up

Gotta get there (now!)

Then we'll hurry up

The story behind the song

A tongue and cheek song I wrote in my head while driving my teenage step daughter somewhere. She was always in a hurry to get somewhere so she could get somewhere else in a hurry.

Turns out riding shotgun with a teenager is basically a masterclass in blues songwriting. She stared at her phone, I stared at the road, and somewhere between the mall and the movies this song wrote itself.

This is a more lyrically polished version with a new arrangement.
