Five More Minutes

[Verse 1] Eight years old, a couple cane poles Sittin' down by the creek Our lines in the water, watching those bobbers Seeini that red sun sink Mama's on the porch yelling "Supper's hot Y'all come and get it!" We yelled five more minutes [Verse 2] At sixteen it was twelve o three Standin' at her front door Katie's dad said midnight But we needed just a little more Yellow light flipping on and off Interruptin' that goodnight kissing We wanted five more minutes [Chorus] 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 Wish I had me a pause button Moments like those, Lord knows I'd hit it And give myself five more minutes [Verse 3] At eighteen, turned my helmet in And walked to the fifty-yard line It's just the coach and me after we Lost state, 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? [Chorus] 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 Wish I had me a pause button Moments like those, Lord knows I'd hit it And give myself five more minutes [Verse 3] At eighty-six, my grandpa said There's angels in the room With all the family gathered 'round We knew that time was coming soon With so much left to say I prayed Lord, I ain't finished Just give us five more minutes [Chorus] 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 Wish I had me a pause button Moments like those, Lord knows I'd hit it Yeah, sometimes this old life will leave you wishing That you had five more minutes Five more minutes
