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"
