Luke Bryan’s Passionate Song, ‘Fast’, Will Make Y’all Want To Slow Down

Riding the coattails of Luke Bryan’s fiery and high-energy debut single from his Kill The Lights album, “Kick The Dust Up“, is a sentimental song that really makes you want to slow it down and appreciate the little moments in life that mean the most. “Fast” is one of those songs that y’all really have to sit down and take in because it’s very meaningful and will make you think.

Written by Luke, Rodney Clawson, and Luke Laird, “Fast” will be released on Bryan’s Kill The Lights album. The song talks about how when we’re all younger, we want time to go by faster and we want fast cars and fast players on our sports teams, but when you grow you realize you want everything to slow down, or even more, you want to pause the moments and good times.

Looking at you looking out the window right now
Those eyes, that dress, that smile, that laugh
If I could hit pause I would somehow
But it don’t work like that

Luke’s performance at the CMA Fest Fan Club Party of his newest song was definitely a pleasant surprise for his lucky audience. Luke lets his emotions spill into his performance, wearing his heart on his sleeve, because – let’s face it folks – we all know exactly what he’s talking about.

FAST LYRICS

Fast
That’s the kind of car you wanna drive when you’re sixteen
Fast
That’s the kind of boys that you want on the home team
Fast
Yeah, you think you’re gonna catch your big dreams just like that
Fast
And here you are, looking back

Sixty seconds now feels more like thirty
Tick-tock, won’t stop, around it goes
Sand through the glass sure falls in a hurry
All you keep trying to do is slow it down, soak it in
You’re trying to make the good times last as long as you can
But you can’t, man
It just goes too fast

Fast
That’s what your parents said when they were falling in love
It’s too fast
There ain’t no way the two of us were ever going to last
But we did, and here we are, and our only problem is

Sixty seconds now feels more like thirty
Tick-tock, won’t stop, around it goes
Sand through the glass sure falls in a hurry
All you keep trying to do is slow it down, soak it in
You’re trying to make the good times last as long as you can
But you can’t, man
It just goes too fast

Looking at you looking out the window right now
Those eyes, that dress, that smile, that laugh
If I could hit pause I would somehow
But it don’t work like that

Sixty seconds now feels more like thirty
Tick-tock, won’t stop, around it goes
Sand through the glass sure falls in a hurry
All you keep trying to do is slow it down, soak it in
You’re trying to make the good times last as long as you can
But you can’t, no
It just goes too fast
Way too fast
Way too fast
