Father Time

Father time is over there.
Looking over my shoulder.
I'm here soaking up the sun and thinking I ain't gettin’ no younger.
Crashing waves clawing at the shore.
That’s been going on forever and more.
There's something about the sun in Mexico that burns different.

And this island smells familiar.
Don’t remember what I can't forget.
Still living this dream and it ain't over yet.
Ain’t over yet.

Married young.
Worked hard to raise four children.
Played every bar in every small town that would have me.
Then I met a record man that signed me. Said he liked the way my star was shining.
Hit the road.
Man, that's no place to start a family.

But that highway looks familiar.
Don't remember what I can't confess.
Still live in this dream and it ain't over yet.

When was the last time.
We did something for the first time, baby?
It's been a long, long time.
Uh huhhhhh.
Uh huhhhhh.
It's been a long, long time, baby.
It's been a long, long time.
Uh huhhhhh.

Hard right to the head, left hook to the body.
Ain't nobody going down, but they sure taking a beating.
And the songs we sing won't change it.
No matter how loud we play it.
I can see it.
I just don't know what to do about it.

Yeah, and history looks familiar.
Don't remember but we can't forget.
Still living this dream, and it ain't over yet.
Still living the dream, and it ain't over yet.
It ain't over yet.
And father time is over there.
Looking over my shoulder.
