"Time" lyrics

"Time"

That old truck's out in the yard
Grandpa ain't got to movin' it far
And that old boat ain't seen water in feels like a century
I went by there yesterday
He didn't have too much to say
But I could tell by his smile that he was a-listening
So I hugged his neck, drove away
Hell, I couldn't help but think

Life ain't cheap, so don't live fast
Don't take for granted the times you have
'Cause the ones that you're leaving back home
When you get back, they might be gone
Old trucks die and rivers run dry
You never know the miles you get on this ride
So damn right I'm spending mine
Taking the one thing you can't buy
Time

Sittin' on a river, called a couple buddies
Told 'em come on with some 9-to-5 money
We can sit out here and celebrate
All the time we ain't gonna waste

No, life ain't cheap, so don't live fast
Don't take for granted the times you have
'Cause the ones that you're leaving back home
When you get back, they might be gone
Old trucks die and rivers run dry
You never know the miles you get on this ride
So damn right I'm spending mine
Taking the one thing you can't buy
Time

And I took the next day off
Picked grandpa up
Hitched up that old boat
With a can of crawlers, a six pack of beer, and a couple catching up Zebcos

Life ain't cheap, so don't live fast
Don't take for granted the times you have
'Cause the ones that you're leaving back home
When you get back, they might be gone
Old trucks die and rivers run dry
Never know the miles you get on this ride
So damn right I'm spending mine
Taking the one thing you can't buy
Time

Takin' my time
