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 sixteen, it was 12:03, standing at her front door
Katie's dad said midnight but we needed just a little more
Yellow light flippin' on and off interupting 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
Oh, but they just keep on flying right on by
Like it ain't nothing
I wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
And give myself five more minutes
At eighteen turned my helmet in and walked to the fifty yard line
Just the coach and me after we lost eighteen 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 minute?
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 flying right on by
Like it ain't nothing
I wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
And give myself five more minutes
At eighty-six my grandpa said there's angels in the room
All the family gathered 'round we knew the time was coming 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 flying right on by
Like it ain't nothing
I wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
Yeah sometimes this ole life will leave you wishing
That you had five more minutes
Five more minutes
