Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – Takin' My Time lyrics
Takin' my time
I'm slowin' down a little bit
Takin' my time
Slowin' down a little bit

Yeah, when I was a young boy
Honey my fuse was lit
Yeah, when I was a young boy
Honey my fuse was lit

Losin' my way
To somethin' stronger than me
Losin' my way
To somethin' stronger than me

Scares me to think about
What's on the road after me
Yeah, it scares me to think about
What's on the road after me
