American Foursquare by Denison Witmer Lyrics

An American Foursquare
On a tree-lined avenue
What am I going to do now?

I sold a house in the city
Moving back to the place I grew
What else can I say to you?

Now my new neighbors
Say the flowers on my south side
Are beautiful in the springtime

My brother and his family
Live three blocks toward the park
I see them every day

A little slow so I’m taking my time
A little slow but I’ll be alright
A little slow so I’m taking my time
A little slow, but it’s what I like
It’s what I need and like
I have to live in the moment
I have to move to the slightest touch now
Take whatever comes my way
Because the negative predictions
And the apathy are far too much
I chose not to live that way

A little slow so I’m taking my time
A little slow but I’ll be alright
A little slow so I’m taking my time
A little slow, but it’s what I like
It’s what I need and like

Are you implying that I’m not trying?
Like if you’re bored, you’re boring?
I see the point, but I’m all mixed up
I’d be lost without your love
I’m lost without you

An American Foursquare
On a tree-lined avenue
What am I going to do now?
