Just Sit Still
By Radney Foster

Capo 2 (preferably on bottom 5 strings making it drop D tuning
In a higher key but you can get by on capoing all 6 string.


    D                                   G
The big shot stuck in front of me don’t know what he’s doing
    A                                           G            
His blood pressure and cell phone bill, they’re gonna be his ruin
        D                               D/F#
You see minutes measure time and we all know that time is money
         G                                    A                   
And this traffic jam is God’s little joke but he don’t think it’s funny


Chorus 1:
            G                G/F#
To just sit still, kill some time
       Em              A 
Settle down, enjoy the ride
       G               G/F#
Take a breath, take it slow
      Em          A            G
Relax man, let it go, just sit still


A young man flips the bird at what his elders have to say
Respect what time is doing, boy, or life will tick away
And all that testosterone that begs forgiveness now
Hell, no one ever really held against you anyhow


Chorus 2:
To just sit still, kill some time
Shoot The breeze, enjoy the ride
Take a breath, take it slow
Relax son, let it go, just sit still


Time’s a precious gift, a treasure, yes, it’s true
So I treasure every moment that I get to waste with you
This crazy world is gonna spin no matter what we do
Come on darlin’, we need a nap, it’s hot this afternoon.

Chorus 3:
To just sit still, kill some time
Hold my hand, enjoy the ride
Take a breath, take it slow
Relax son, let it go, just sit still



Life’s too precious to just let go
So just sit still
