Fast Time Or Slow Time

Liner Notes

#country
Talking to someone the other day who said they were from a small town called Union City that sort of straddles the line between Indiana and Ohio. One state recognizes daylight savings time and the other one doesn't, so she said that whenever somebody refers to a time of day, they're often asked if they mean "fast time or slow time". Sounded like a song to me.

Lyrics

Fast Time Or Slow Time
Words & Music - Jeff Walker

I’m from a little town on the Indiana line
Where 10:30 might mean half past nine
If you make a plan to meet up with your friend
To avoid confusion on exactly when
Better let ‘em know…
Fast time or slow time

The Hoosier side goes by one time zone 
While the Buckeye state uses one of its own
So at happy hour in half the town
It ain’t at the bar just three doors down
Always good to know…
Fast time or slow time

Sun comes up
Sun goes down
No matter what the clock says
In my crazy little town

Bought a new device for my new nightstand
Supposed to respond to my voice command 
I plugged it in and then I turned it on
And said to it “Alexa, wake me up at dawn”
 But she said…
“Fast time or slow time?”
