Father Time (Acoustic)

(album: Crazy Times - 2022)

"Father Time"
One, two, one, two, three, four

Father time's over there
Looking over my shoulder
I'm just soaking up the sun
And thinking 'bout I ain't getting younger
Crashing waves clawing at the shore
That's been going on forever and more
And there's something 'bout the sun in Mexico that burns different

But it all smells familiar
Don't remember what I can't forget
Been living this dream and it ain't over yet

Married young
Worked hard to raise four children
Worked every bar in every small town that would have me
Finally met a record man who signed me
Said he liked the way my star was shining
Hit the road
That ain't no place to start a family

But that highway feels familiar
Can't remember what I can't confess
Still living this dream and it ain't over yet
When was the last time
You did something for the first time, baby?
Been a long time
Uh-huh

Hard right to the head
Left hook to the body
Ain't nobody gone down but
They sure taking a beating
And the songs we sing won't change it
No matter how loud we play it
I can see it
I just don't know what to do about it

Yeah, and history feels familiar
Don't remember what I can't forget
Still living this dream and it ain't over yet
Still living this dream and it ain't over yet

It ain't over yet
And father time's standing there
Looking over my shoulder
