Couple More Minutes

Little boy out in the yard Playing with his Tonka toy car When his daddy rolls up and stumbles outta that truck Momma's inside cooking up something nice When a tear falls from her eye Daddy stumbles outside an drifts off in the night Daddy can I have just a couple more minutes Can we throw in a line or two I can help you work on your truck I can turn a wrench or two Can you tell me why you were mad as hell and why you left that day I've been sitting here wandering and wishing For a couple more minutes Little boy turned 18 Got a truck and some gasoline And his buddys bought him a cold one Then he set off in the sun He was headed 93 down main street slammed on the breaks An crashed into tree Then he began to sing Daddy I'm glad I got a couple more minutes Can we fish off the pearly gates Can you tell me why you hit my mom and why you left that day An incase you wanted to know baby brothers fine Momma still holds him close and wipes those tears from his eyes We've been sitting here wandering and wishing For a couple more minutes Daddy I'm glad I got a couple more minutes Can we fish off the pearly gates Can you tell me why you hit my mom and why you left that day An incase you wanted to know baby brothers fine Momma still holds him close and wipes those tears from his eyes We've been sitting here wandering and wishing For a couple more minutes I'm out in my yard Playing with my son and his Tonka toy car Trying to give him A couple more minutes
