Five More Minutes

Eight years old, couple cane poles sittin' down by the creek
 Lines in the water, watchin' those bobbers, seein' that red sun sink
 Mama's on the porch yellin', "Supper's hot! Ya'll come and get it!"
 We yelled, "Five more minutes"
 At 16, it was 12:03, standin' at her front door
 And Katie's dad said "Midnight", but we needed just a little more
 Yellow light flippin' on and off interuptin' that good night kissin'
 We wanted five more minutes
 Time rolls by the clock don't stop
 I wish I had a few more drops of the good stuff, the good times
 Ah, but they just keep on flyin'
 Right on by like it ain't nothin'
 I wish I had me a pause button
 Moments like those, Lord knows I'd hit it
 And give myself five more minutes

 At 18, turned my helmet in and walked to the 50-yard line
 Just the coach and me after we lost 18 to nine
 And I cried man next time to get in here, I'll have to buy a ticket
 "Can't you give me five more minutes?"
 Time rolls by the clock don't stop
 I wish I had a few more drops of the good stuff, the good times
 Ah, but they just keep on flyin'
 Right on by like it ain't nothin'
 I wish I had me a pause button
 Moments like those, Lord knows I'd hit it
 And give myself five more minutes

 At 86, my grandpa said, "There's angels in the room"
 All the family gathered 'round, we knew the time was comin' soon
 With so much left to say I prayed, "Lord I ain't finished"
 "Just give us five more minutes"
 Time rolls by the clock don't stop
 I wish I had a few more drops of the good stuff, the good times
 Oh, but they just keep on flyin'
 Right on by Like it ain't nothin'
 I wish I had me a pause button
 Moments like those, Lord knows I'd hit it
 Yeah, sometimes this ol' life will leave you wishin'
 That you had five more minutes
