  • Nathan from Woodbridge, VaOkay, so, coming from a kid that’s still in high school, I’ve certainly had my fair share of rejections. This is my dream scenario. You get the courage to go and talk to this girl you like, and you also remember to not move too fast. I have an issue with exactly that, and every time, I don’t even realize it until after the damage is done. I really like this song because, well, it’s believable. I’m still waiting on my special person, but hearing songs like this gives me hope.
  • Lola from AlaskaWho was the girl from the music video she looks like someone but i cant figure it out!! Please help!!
  • Mary from Texas Texas country is distinct from mainstream country, and songs like these, are often considered as "pop country". I don't care though because this song is beautiful! The lyrics themselves are just so meaningful! The song explains exactly how a man should treat a woman by "Taking your time". Please make more songs like these and I will forever love you! :)
  • Holly Baldwin from State College Pa My husband Bill/i went to the bar every night after work to escape our home full of adult children and much drama. Bill had already planted himself in his usual bar stool. I headed to the outside porch, as i walked through the door, there stood a tall biker, with his leather vest. I don't remember who said "hello" first but he definitely had my attention. His sexy voice, beautiful blue eyes, the scent of cigarettes and beer on his breath (now a turn on for me). Woody was so easy to talk to, i told him about my marriage and how miserable I was. He offered to help Bill/i talk things out. Most guys would see an opportunity to take advantage of the situation ( i wasn't looking either). A few weeks later we saw each other again, i tried to contain my excitement, just could not take my eyes off this guy. He had to leave sooner than expected, as i was going out Woody met me at the door, he handed me a piece of paper with his information on it, it was like being in high school all over again.
    We talked over the next few months, but i was busy with my new job, so not much happened that first year.
    At the time my father was in the hospital, i would often visit Woody and tell him everything going in my life. He patiently listened. Never ever did i think that i would marry this amazing man in 2015.
    We rode with the motorcycle club, through the rain, cold fall nights, stifling hot summer days in many traffic jams. Woody/i were the only couple seen together talking, holding hands and slow dancing. I WAS THE LUCKY ONE!
    On October 17th, 2018, after having dinner with my daughters/grandchildren i received a message "to head home now!" As i pulled into our driveway i saw my best friend, her boyfriend and many others. Just moments later my life was shattered with the news Woody had died in a motorcycle accident. The police explained he had crossed the yellow line and had hit a truck head on.
    So when I hear this song i see Woody leaning against pole outside the cafe. Just TAKING HIS TIME.
    Thank you for this song.
