I'm In A Hurry And Don't Know Why


Tualatin, Oregon

July 13, 2021


It feels great to take a day off and sit in a hotel room. I've done laundry, repacked some bags, ordered some shorts I really don't need, talked with the front desk person, shaved, cleaned out my toiletries (whoa!). But there is this voice in my head telling me I am not doing enough.


I know I have written about this song somewhere in my 2,000+ posts. But there is no rule that I can't write about the same topic again (and perhaps again and again).


I did not hear this song when it was a hit. But I am glad I finally heard it -- it is one of the most meaningful songs I can think of.


I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why.


Don't know why I have to drive so fast My car has nothing to prove It's not new But it'll do 0 to 60 in 5.2


Oh I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why


Can't be late I leave plenty of time Shaking hands with the clock I can't stop I'm on a roll and I'm ready to rock


Oh I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why


I hear a voice That say's I'm running behind I better pick up my pace It's a race And there ain't no room For someone in second place.


I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why.


I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why.


I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why.


I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why

Growing up so close to Macon, Georgia I heard a lot of Allman Brithrrs as a teenager. When asked why the Allman Brothers Band had two drummers, Greg Allman answered that if it was good enough for Jame
