8
years old,
a couple cane poles,
sitting down by the creek
Lions in the water,
watching those bobbers,
seeing that red sun sink
Momma's on the porch
yellin' supper's hot
Y 'all come and get it
We yelled five more minutes
At sixteen it was twelve on three
Standing at her front door
Katie's dad said midnight
But we needed just a little more
Yellow light flippin' on and off
Interrupting that goodnight kissing
We wanted five more minutes
Time rolls by, the clock don't stop
I wish I had a few more drops
Of the good stuff, the good times
Oh, but they just keep on flying
Right on by like it ain't nothing
I wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those,
Lord knows I'd hate it
And give myself five more
minutes
Eighteen, turned my helmet in
Walked to the fifty yard line
Just the coach and me, after we
Lost eight, ten to nine
And I cried, man, next time to get in here
I'll have to buy a ticket
Can't you give me five more minutes?
Time goes by, the clock don't stop
I wish I had a few more drops
Of the good stuff, the good times
Oh, but they just keep on flyin'
Right on by like it ain't nothin'
I wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those
Lord knows I'd hate
And give myself five more
minutes
In 86 my grandpa said
There's angels in the room
All the family gathered round
knew the time was coming soon
With so much left to say I prayed Lord,
I ain't finished.
Just give us five more minutes
Time rolls by the clock don't stop.
I wish I had a few more drives
of the good stuff
They're good times, oh,
but they just keep on flyin'
Right on by like it ain't nothin'
Wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those,
Lord knows I'd hate it
Yeah, sometimes it's so
life will leave you wishin'
That you had five more minutes
Yeah, five more minutes
