Some mornings the world just has to wait.
"Left It Running" was born from one of those ordinary moments that turns out to be anything but — the kind where you're headed out the door, engine already running, and something stops you cold. In this case, it's her. In the kitchen. In the morning light. Doing nothing extraordinary and doing it perfectly.
The car stays in the driveway. The coffee goes cold on the roof. The groceries thaw on the floor. A million things on the to-do list go undone. None of it matters.
Rick Lee Vinson has always written love the way it actually lives — not in grand gestures or dramatic declarations, but in the quiet, unguarded moments that accumulate into a life. Lar Lee Vinson brought the words that made this song what it is, and together they found something that doesn't explain itself. It doesn't have to.
Recorded live at The Underground Treehouse in Nashville, Tennessee — the way all Rick Lee Vinson Group recordings are made — the track carries the warmth and spontaneity of real musicians in a room together, playing something they mean.
