[Verse 1]
Detroit built brakes so that they could make a Chevy slow down
And a just right midnight "sorry" might turn "goodbye" around
Bloody Marys and aspirin will give a hangover one hell of a fight
But my remedy for handlin' the hands of time
[Chorus]
Is Seger singin' "Hollywood Nights"
"Even the Losers" get lucky sometimes
A "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"
And I'm just fine, I'm doin' alright
We ain't as young as we use to be
But "Young at Heart" is so easy
When you let some loud guitars
And words that rhyme
Handle the hands of time
[Verse 2]
My go-to game day jersey’s always Carolina blue
When I need to find forgiveness
I find a little small town church pew, yeah
After work I like to put my elbows up on a bar
And, girl, I turn to the speakers
When I need to speak to this ol' heart
[Chorus]
And it's "Back in Black", "Shook Me All Night Long"
"Could You Be Loved "Redemption Song"
"Luckenbach", "Home Sweet Home"
I'm where I belong
Ain't nothing wrong, yeah
We ain’t as young as we use to be
But "Young at Heart" is so easy
When you let some loud guitars
And words that rhyme
Handle the hands of time
[Post-Chorus]
Hands of time
[Bridge]
Tryna hang on as the song rolls
Like gravity pulls on the grains of sand
We take our licks, life takes its toll
We say, "Thanks," and we fold our hands
[Chorus]
And it's "Amazing Grace," how sweet the sound
"Sunday Morning Coming Down"
"Tuesday's Gone", "Green Grass of Home" (Tuesday's gone)
"I Come to the Garden Alone", yeah (Oh, oh)
We ain’t as young as we used to be
But until under that willow, you bury me
I'm gonna turn up some loud guitars
[Outro]
Turn up some loud guitars
Turn up some loud guitars
Crank some loud guitars
Crank up some loud guitars
Wanna hear some loud guitars
Gonna let some loud guitars
And words that rhyme
Handle the hands of time

‘Hands of Time’ is interesting because as I get older, I’m looking for things that make me feel not as old.
