From the recording Miles Apart, Standin' Still
Don’t Rush Me None
“Don’t Rush Me None” is a song about finding your own rhythm and trusting it.
This song lives in that honky-tonk space where the hardwood floor, neon light, crooked clock, and slow-earned confidence all meet. It is about reaching a point in life where you are no longer chasing fast, trying to keep up, or measuring yourself by somebody else’s timetable.
At its heart, this song is about knowing you are not late and you are not falling behind. It may have taken years to find the stride, but once you find it, there is no need to apologize for moving through life your own way.
“Don’t Rush Me None” is a song about patience, confidence, memory, and timing — a reminder that some things only land right when you give them time, and if what is ahead is truly yours, it will still be there when you get there.
— Lane Alan Dumser
Lyrics
Dont rush me none
Im right on time
Aint chasin fast
Aint fallin behind
Quick quick slow let the whole thing ride
Took me years just to find this stride
Dont rush me none
Im good right here
Aint missin out
Aint disappearin
Lifell spin if you let it run
Me I take it two by one
Dont rush me none
Boot heel hittin that hardwood floor
Neon flicker off a Bud Light pour
Same old bar aint the same no more
Now I just move how I choose to move
That crooked clock above the bar dont talk to me
I aint where I was I aint tryin to be
Got a rhythm now I didnt have back then
Took me a while just to settle in
I aint late I aint early
I just show up when its right
Dont rush me none
Im right on time
Aint chasin fast
Aint fallin behind
Quick quick slow let the whole thing ride
Took me years just to find this stride
Dont rush me none
Im good right here
Aint missin out
Aint disappearin
Lifell spin if you let it run
Me I take it two by one
Dont rush me none
Seen fast talk fade out by closing time
Seen slow hands build somethin that lasts a lifetime
Aint every mile need a finish line
Some things land when you give em time
Met a few folks still walkin with me
Others just names on a memory
No hard lines in what came and went
All of it part of where Ive been
I dont need to get there early
If its mine itll be
Dont rush me none
Im right on time
Aint chasin fast
Aint fallin behind
Quick quick slow let the whole thing ride
Took me years just to find this stride
Dont rush me none
Two steps forward one step slow
Thats the only way I know
Dont rush me none
Im right on time
Aint chasin fast
Aint fallin behind
Quick quick slow let the whole thing ride
Took me years just to find this stride
Dont rush me none
