Father Time (Acoustic)

[Intro]
"Father Time"
One, two, one, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Father time's over there
Looking over my shoulder
I'm just soaking up the sun
And thinking 'bout I ain't gettin' younger
Crashing waves clawing at the shore
That's been going on forever and more
And there's somethin' 'bout the sun in Mexico that burns different

[Chorus 1]
But it all smells familiar
Don't remember what I can't forget
Been living this dream and it ain't over yet

[Verse 2]
Married young
Worked hard to raise four children
Worked every bar in every small town that would have me
Finally met a record man who signed me
Said he liked the way my star was shinin'
Hit the road
That ain't no place to start a family

[Chorus 2]
But that highway feels familiar
Can't remember what I can't confess
Still living this dream and it ain't over yet
When was the last time
You did somethin' for the first time, baby?
Been a long time
Uh-huh

[Verse 3]
Hard right to the head
Left hook to the body
Ain't nobody gone 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

[Chorus 3]
Yeah, and history feels familiar
Don't remember what I can't forget
Still living this dream and it ain't over yet
Still living this dream and it ain't over yet

[Outro]
It ain't over yet
And father time's standing there
Looking over my shoulder
