| I sat down at a park bench watching my children play
|
| When this old timer took a seat he said hello how’s your day
|
| Said to tell you the truth I shouldn’t be here doing this
|
| Between the headlines and deadlines I’ve got no time to reminisce
|
| That’s when he said sounds like you’re a busy man son that ain’t front page news
|
| He said once upon a time I was wearing your brand of boots so listen up
|
| I’ve gone the wrong way I’ve learn the hard way
|
| Baby’s crawls then they walk before you know it
|
| There driven away
|
| As your staring at the tail lights you can feel life passing you by
|
| It goes zero to sixty in the blink of the eye
|
| He took a picture from his wallet that he carried threw out the war
|
| Of the beautiful brunet he married in 1944
|
| My angel flew way it’s almost been five years
|
| And he told me her name then he wiped away his tear
|
| Then he said take a look at your little girl
|
| Enjoy that little girl smile
|
| Because on day your gonna turn around you’ll be walking her down the isle
|
| (Repeat Chorus)
|
| So count your many blessing and love with all your heart and hold on tight
|
| You better cherish every morning and hit your knees every night
|
| So I said lord I’ve gone the wrong way I’ve learned the hard way
|
| We live we die the years fly by like white lines on the high way
|
| Slow me down and make me see
|
| The kind of man I need to be
|
| Zero to sixty lives goes zero to sixty the old man said
|
| I’ve gone the wrong way I’ve learn the hard way
|
| Baby crawls then they walk before you know it
|
| There driven away
|
| As your staring at the tail lights you can feel life passing you by
|
| It goes zero to sixty in the blink of the eye…. |
| in the blink of the eye |
