Father Time

Father time's over there, looking over my shoulder
I'm here soaking up the sun and thinking I ain't gettin' no younger
Crashing waves clawing at the shore
That's been going on forever and more
There's somethin' 'bout the sun in Mexico that burns different

And this island smells familiar
Don't remember what I can't forget
Still living this dream, and it ain't over yet
Ain't over yet

Married young, worked hard to raise four children
Played 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 shinin', hit the road
Man, that ain't no place to start a family

But that highway looks familiar
Don't remember what I can't confess
Still living this dream, and it ain't over yet

When was the last time
We did somethin' for the first time, baby?
Been a long, long time
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Oh, it's been a long, long time, baby
Oh, been a long, long time
Uh-huh, yeah, yeah

Hard right to the head, left hook to the body
Ain't nobody goin' 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, history looks familiar
Don't remember, but we 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 over there, looking over my shoulder
