The Hurry Can Wait

He counted the box cars.



She saw a dance floor.



The Hurry Can Wait is a country dance song about a perfectly inconvenient delay—and two people who discover they’re exactly where they want to be.

A freight train stops their plans beside the feed store. His fingers drum the dashboard. She opens the door, steps onto the gravel, and gives the afternoon a better idea.

“We’re making better time out here

Than anywhere we’d go.”

There’s a royal bow on a decidedly unroyal dance floor, a feed-store cat withholding its approval, and one more turn that suddenly matters more than getting somewhere.

Let the freight roll.

Take another turn.

Be here together.

For crowded calendars, country dance floors, and anyone who’s ever needed a reminder that a little time together counts as time well spent.

“We can go.”

“In a minute.”
