SMARTER THAN YOU

Coming through the doorway always feels like such a rush

Finding keys and losing steam, the day is just too much

But when I need to hide I come inside and see my sleepy cats

I know I’m home ‘cause no one gives a rat’s

There’s something ‘bout a change of rhythm, a different kinda zone

Lazy seems to be just one more word for being home

And even though I have to shove this big fat cat off of my seat

I know I’m home ‘cause he don’t give a shit

 

Slow down, take the shoes off and the batteries out

Hold on to the easy things that home’s about, and

Make time for a little snooze like kitties do

They’re telling you the way to make it through

And maybe they’re much smarter. Than you.

 

Cursing at the double parkers on a two lane street

And yelling at the bus that just made slushies of my feet

Sometimes I just feel like I can’t get into the beat

And all I feel’s the pressure and the heat

 

But walking through the alleyways there’s something to be learned

The clever ones sit high above the ground not getting burned

And something tells me someone smarter knows just where it’s at

And that annoying someone, is a cat.

 

Slow down, take the shoes off and the batteries out

Hold on to the easy things that home’s about, and

Make time for a little snooze like kitties do

They’re telling you the way to make it through

And maybe they’re much smarter than

​

You’ve been running fast for years, pushing through the sweat and tears

And working harder every single day

And lately you’ve been wond’ring, is there any other way?

And maybe it’s been right before your eyes

And you say you can’t see it ‘cause time flies

But it’s you that flies

It’s you that lies

 

So slow down, take the shoes off and the batteries out

Hold on to the easy things that home’s about, and

Make time for a little snooze like kitties do

They’re telling you the way to make it through

And maybe they’re much smarter than you

Maybe they’re much smarter

Than you
