"The Rest Of It's Mine" lyrics

"The Rest Of It's Mine"
(feat. Paul Overstreet)

Man, I've worked all of my damn life
Raising my kids, pleasing my wife
I paid off all my loans and I sold the big house
Got a new little casa way down south
Not sure how much I got left of time
Yeah, but whatever I've got, the rest of it's mine

The rest of it's mine, the rest of it's mine
Gonna ride it out here where the sun always shines
While there's still a piece left of that American pie
Already bought the boat, already signed the note
Gave away my mittens and that big furry coat
Only so many ticks on the clock before we're all outta time
I'm taking it day by day 'cause the rest of it's mine

Well our kids are all grown, I've turned to playing the sand
Got an old flat-top guitar, an umbrella drink in my head
Hey Billy, I made us some friends down at the RV park
I bet that place comes alive oh a little after dark

And I know this could all be over in the blink of an eye
Oh, but c'est la vie, the rest of it's mine

The rest of it's mine, the rest of it's mine
Gonna ride it out here where the sun always shines
While there's still a piece left of that American pie
Already bought the boat, already signed the note
Gave away my mittens and that big furry coat
Only so many ticks on the clock before we're all outta time
I'm taking it day by day 'cause the rest of it's mine

Hey [?] my step, yeah I still got plenty
Yeah, I still got a smile for the girls and the kitties

Oh, the rest of it's mine, the rest of it's mine
Gonna ride it out here where the sun always shines
While there's still a piece left of that American pie
Already bought the boat, already signed the note
Gave away my mittens and that big furry coat
Only so many ticks on the clock before we're all outta time
I'm taking it day by day 'cause the rest of it's mine
Always a hand down bleeding all my dollars and dimes
I got news from ma, the rest of it's mine

Ain't that right, pa? I'd say so Billy, it's about time
Hey, hand me that guitar, I think I got a song idea
If we finish this up maybe we can play it at the RV park tonight
