These Days

I park the truck turn the music down
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
Daddy I can unbuckle myself
Baby we gotta go
One more hug and one more kiss
A hurried up goodbye
Go and play with all your friends
I'll be back here around five
She sees me smile
But it kills me

Every time I watch that front door close
Her looking back through that window
As I drive away
I know it's just the way it is
Hard work is just a part of it
That's what they say
Yeah time only moves one way
And I spend most of mine
Wishing for more these days

I'm sure she don't know it now
But some day down the road
I wonder if she'll think about
How much I was gone
One more candle on the cake
A little closer to the sky
She don't even understand
How fast it all goes by
She sees me smile
But it kills me

Every time I watch that front door close
Her looking back through that window
As I drive away
I know it's just the way it is
Hard work is just a part of it
That's what they say
Yeah time only moves one way
And I spend most of mine
Wishing for more these days

Right now it's baby dolls
And Daddy sing me one more song
But soon enough that song is gonna fade
Cause boys will call and hearts will break
And then she'll go and graduate
And just like that everything will change

Then I'll watch her car door close
Her looking back through that window
As she drives away
I know it's just the way it is
Hard work is just a part of it
That's what they say
Yeah time only moves one way
And I spend most of mine
Wishing for more these days
