Hey, Me

17, grass is mowed Friday night is comin' slow And I got just one thing on my mind 'Cause lovin' you is spiritual The only thing I'll ever know Girls like you damn hard to find Then the world comes and stops you on a dime 'Cause reality don't care when it's quittin' time You ever had somethin' that you couldn't lose The one thing you hold on to Then it falls through the cracks like the sands of time Havin' talks with the lord above Askin' every question you could think of Then he tells you boy, "Promise you'll be just fine" "Hey younger me, we call that life" 35, grass is mowed Tuesday night at her ballet show And I got just one thing on my mind Our little one is growin' up (growin' up) I know the time is gonna come (gonna come) I'll see her back right out of that drive And the world will come and stop me on a dime 'Cause reality don't care when it's splittin' time You ever had somethin' that you couldn't lose The one thing you hold on to Then it falls through the cracks like the sands of time Havin' talks with the lord above Askin' every question you could think of Then he tells you boy, "Promise she'll be just fine" "Hey me, that's still life" Then you're 85 sittin' on a front porch Swingin' and you see that light Look into the pasture, cross in the ground "Please Lord let me join my wife" You ever had somethin' that you couldn't lose The one thing you hold on to (hold on to) Then it falls through the cracks like the sands of time (falls through the cracks like the sands of time) Havin' talks with the lord above Askin' every question you could think of Then he tells you, "Boy, I heard you, now it's time" (Did you hear me Lord?) "Hey me, ya that's life"
