Lyrics Past Is Practice - Bubba Sparxxx, JJ Lawhorn

Past Is Practice

He said you got it all wrong
You gotta move on
You can’t keep singing that dad old song
You have to fight the urge to reminisce
You can push rewind in your mind
It ain’t nothing but a waste of time
Today’s the day to get past this
Cuz the Past is Practice
Another long night down in G A
Watching my whole life replay
Under my eyelids
Everything I did still rides with me these days
How could I let her love go
How could I let my life get
This out of hand
I’m talking about the man
That sits here right where I sit
I was reasoned on
deep southern values
Life treats you just like how you
treat life
you better think twice
but if you blink twice
it goes on without you
I’m stuck here living in circles
Somehow I gotta turn to a straight line
I know anything worth having takes time
But if patience is a virtue, it ain’t mine
I ain’t never been concerned with tomorrow
But yesterday visits me nightly
At the bottom of a glass
Just waiting on my ass
To tell me again what might be
Had I cut it out sooner
Or had I held on longer
Then I hear a voice in my ear so clear
The Past is Practice it only makes you stronger
He said you got it all wrong
You gotta move on
You can’t keep singing that dad old song
You have to fight the urge to reminisce
You can push rewind in your mind
It ain’t nothing but a waste of time
Today’s the day to get past this
Cuz the Past is Practice
I see now the blessings the lesson
What’s that saying
What’s that expression
The past is history
The futures a mystery
Today’s a gift
That’s why it’s called the present
I know that sounds so good
When you’re saying it to someone else
But when it’s your turn
When your heart hurts
It really ain’t a whole lot of help
But it’s like my pops says
Everybody’s got regrets I guess
Try as you might
Cry and fight it
It ain’t gonna change it
So why stress
But we can change tomorrow
With a «well played» today
The lights are on
And life goes on
Until it don’t
What’d ya say JJ
He said you got it all wrong
You gotta move on
You can’t keep singing that dad old song
You have to fight the urge to reminisce
You can push rewind in your mind
It ain’t nothing but a waste of time
Today’s the day to get past this
Cuz the Past is Practice
«I mean the fact is, there is no finer way to waste time, than to be caught up
obsessing about the past.
It’s gone, it’s gone forever, move on, love!»
He said you got it all wrong
You gotta move on
You can’t keep singing that dad old song
You have to fight the urge to reminisce
You can push rewind in your mind
It ain’t nothing but a waste of time
Today’s the day to get past this
Cuz the Past is Practice
