While the Gettin's Good

He said I woke up and I was twenty five
 With a job I didn't want, but I guess it got us by
 Got married young, had a son in a house in the town I grew up in
 And that's just the way it was
 Not even close to how I planned it
 Didn't know how good we had it
 I ain't telling you how to live your life
 You don't have to take this old man's advice
 But you better get it while the gettin's good
 There's gonna come a day you wish you would
 Have been in the stands on a Friday night
 When your kid scores a touchdown beneath those lights
 And the first thing he does is look up to find you there
 And you're there, get it while the gettin's good
 Words sure can hit you hard when they get said
 From a shell of a man looking at you man in a hospital bed
 But tears well up in a loved one's eyes
 And you're holding yours back and you start thinking twice
 About everything, everything he said to me
 And he said...
 Better get it while the gettin's good
 There's gonna come a day you wish you would
 Have been more in the moment with the one you love
 On a Sunday morning when she wakes up
 And the first thing you do is thank God that she's there
 'Cause you're there, get it while the gettin's good
 So we buried my dad on the 12th of December
 And I'll never forget what he said to remember
 Moments slip like sand through your hands
 When you're gone, you can't get 'em back again
 Better get it while the gettin's good
 There's gonna come a day you wish you would
 Have spent a little more time with your mom when I'm gone
 She's gonna need you son, she's gonna be alone
 And I feel better just knowing that you're there
 'Cause I can't be there
 Love is all that matters in the end
 Get it while the gettin's good
 Oh, get it while the gettin's good
