Time is my friend, my friend
The more I reject it the more that it kicks in
Just enough to keep me on my toes
I say come on time, I’ve beat you before
Come on time, what have you got for me this time?
I’ll take your words of wisdom and I’ll try to make a rhyme
Hey it’s just me and you again
Come on time
Time, you’re not fooling me
You’re something I can’t kill
You’re flying like a mighty wind
Keep never standing still
Time, as you’ve passed me by
Why did you leave these lines on my face?
You sure have put me in my place
Come on time, come on time
Looks like you’re winning the race
Time, you’re not fooling me
You’re something I can’t kill
You’re flying like a mighty wind
You’re never standing still
Time, as you’ve passed me by
Why did you leave these lines on my face?
You sure have put me in my place
Come on time, come on time
Looks like you’re winning the race
Come on time, come on time
Looks like you’re winning the race
Raven is the color of her long, curly hair
Red is the dress that she knows how to wear
Bluest eyes I’ve ever seen — maybe just a touch of green
Oh, she could steal most any woman’s man
This’d be a real good time to hold my hand
She walked up and said, «Hello, it’s been awhile»
Don’t think I didn’t notice the nervous in your smile
Wasn’t that long ago you were a whole lot more than friends
This would be a real good time to hold my hand
Don’t let this moment linger
Now would be a real good time
To reach out with your fingers
And get 'em tangled up with mine
Let her know for sure
That I’m more than just a soft place to land
This’d be a real good time to hold my hand
If I’m your future and she’s your past
If it’s over with her and our love’s gonna last
Don’t let this moment linger
Now would be the time
To reach out with your fingers and get them tangled up with mine
Let her know for sure that I’m more than just a soft place to land
Oh, this would be a good time
This’d be a real good time to hold my hand

She left the car in the driveway
She left the key in the door
She left the kids at her mama’s
And the laundry piled up on the floor
She left her ring on the pillow
Right where it wouldn’t be missed
She left a note in the kitchen
Next to the grocery list
It said, you don’t even know who I am
You left me a long time ago
You don’t even know who I am
So what do you care if I go
He left the ring on the pillow
He left the clothes on the floor
And he called her to say he was sorry
But he couldn’t remember what for
So he said I’ve been doing some thinking
I’ve been thinking that maybe you’re right
I go to work every morning
And I come home to you every night
And you don’t even know who I am
You left me a long time ago
You don’t even know who I am
So what do I care if you go
You don’t even know who I am
So what do I care if you go
Standing in line at the grocery store
It’s February, as cold as it gets
There’s a little girl in front of me with no coat on
Her momma’s buying tampons and cigarettes
I try to catch her eye, give her a smile
Tell her it’s gonna be okay, but it might take a while
Everybody’s got something that they’re searching for
Tuesday night, standing in line at the grocery store
The cashier seemed a little distracted
He’s staring off into space
He’s well-dressed and handsome
Fifty-something and he seems so out of place
He looks like a football coach who just lost his way
Maybe he drinks too much, but who am I to say
Everybody’s got something that they’re searching for
Tuesday night, standing in line at the grocery store
We all stare at the magazines
Movie stars and beauty queens
Everything that we’re supposed to be
Times are hard right now
But we all get by somehow
Up and down the aisles of the American dream
Everybody’s got something that they’re searching for
Tuesday night, standing in line at the grocery store
Everybody’s got something that they’re searching for
Tuesday night
Marching in time
Standing in line at the grocery store
It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow, and her ponytail
She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell
Next day I chased her around the playground
'Cross the monkey bars to the merry-go-round
And Emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote
Do you love me do you want to be my friend
And if you do
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no
Now we're grown up and she's my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Not much has changed I still chase Emmylou
Up and down the hall around the bed in our room
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years together she still gets to me
Can't believe it's been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note
Do you love me do you want to be my friend
And if you do
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no
I've got some big news
The bank finally came through
And I'm holdin' the keys to abrand new Chevrolet
Have you been outside it sure is a nice night
How about a little test drive
Down by the lake
There's a place I know about where the dirt road runs out
And we can try out the four-wheel drive
Come on now what do you say
Girl, I can hardly wait to get a little mud on the tires
'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shoreline
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere only one way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires
It was painted red the stripe was white
It was 18 feet from the bow to stern light
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
We put on a shine, put on a motor
Built out of love, and made for the water
Ran her for years, til' the transom got rotten
A piece of my childhood will never be forgoten
It was just an old plywood boat
With a 75 Johnson with electric choke
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And I would turn her sharp
And I would make it whine
He'd say, "You can't beat the way a old wood boat rides"
Just a little lake cross the Alabama line
But I was king of the ocean
When Daddy let me drive
Just an old half ton short bed ford
My Uncle bought new in 64
Daddy got it right cause the engine was smoking
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
He'd let me drive her when we haul off a load
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedels
Smiling like a hero who just received his medal
It was just an old hand me down ford
With 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel and
I would press that clutch
And I would keep it right
He would say a little slower son
Your doing just fine
Just a dirt road with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
When Daddy let me drive
I'm grown up now
3 daughters of my own
I let them drive my old jeep
Across the pasture at our home
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
And pull out that old memory
And think of me and smile
And say
It was just an old worn out jeep
Rusty old floor boards
Hot on my feet
A young girl two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And he'd say
Turn it left, and steer it right
Straighten up girl now, you're doing just fine
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
But I was high on a mountain
When Daddy let me drive
Daddy let me drive
Oh he let me drive
It's just an old plywood boat
With a 75 johnson
And electric choke
