about

This is actually my latest song, my newest, I wrote this during the recording of this album and brought it in almost complete. I made a few changes to the lyrics as we were recording and I struggled about whether I should leave what I knew was a very suggestive line in the chorus or take it out. In the end, I decided to leave it there but use it only once, which is a bit of a unique approach for me as a songwriter. The chorus repeats three times and the third line is different in all three choruses. They all had to rhyme with "sight,” and I was able to come up with three different lines which meant I only had to use that very suggestive line once, in the last chorus, which is perfect, it's where it belongs and so there it is. The thing about it is I think people are either going to like it or not like it but the important thing is I think they will notice it, I think they will remember it. The bridge is pretty suggestive too, but I threw a little of what I call "Jimmy Buffett type humor" into that part so it lightens it up a bit. We created a bit of an island feel for the song which is actually kind of Jimmy Buffett in a way. But my biggest inspiration for this song is The Zac Brown Band. I wrote this song after listening to "Overnight" about forty or fifty times in a row. I figured if they could take it there then I could probably take it maybe a little bit further and so I came up with the words for "Let's Take Our Time." For me it's one of the highlights on this album.

lyrics

Let's Take Our Time
(Bill Naughton, Jr.)
c 2015 Biliolga Music (ASCAP)

I don't want to believe that you're doing this with me,
Because you've had too much to drink,
We've got each other all worked up,
But girl we should slow down and think,

-first chorus-
Let's take our time, try to stay sober,
Find some place to hide and I'll kiss you all over,
The signs you're sending say that it's all right...
We're having way too much fun but let's wait til we're done,
To start drinkin'...like there's no end in sight...

I don't want you to lose the desire that you have,
Seducing me's easy for you,
The hard part's over let's not talk,
I know what you want me to do...

-second chorus-
Let's take our time, t to stay sober,
Find some place to hide and I'll kiss you all over,
Anticipation's at an all time high,
We're having way too much fun but let's wait til we're done,
To start drinkin'...like there's no end in sight...

-bridge-
I really do want this to happen,
And you're ready to do it no doubt,
So come on girl bring on the action,
Before we get drunk and pass out...

-guitar solo-

-third chorus-
Let's take our time, try to stay sober,
Find some place to hide and I'll kiss you all over,
Your string bikini's coming off tonight,
We're having way too much fun but let's wait til we're done,
To start drinkin'...like there's no end in sight...
We're having way too much fun but let's wait til we're done,
To start drinkin'...like there's no end in sight...
