Minutes To Memories (Live) - John Mellencamp[00:00:00]

On a Greyhound thirty miles beyond Jamestown[00:00:27]

He saw the sun set on the Tennessee line[00:00:30]

He looked at the young man who was riding beside him[00:00:34]

He said I'm old kind of worn out inside[00:00:38]

I worked my whole life in the steel mills near Gary[00:00:43]

And my father before me I helped build this land[00:00:47]

Now I'm seventy-seven and with God as my witness[00:00:51]

I earned every dollar that passed through my hands[00:00:54]

My family and friends are the best thing I've known[00:00:58]

Through the eye of the needle I'll carry them home[00:01:02]

Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories[00:01:07]

Life sweeps away the dreams that we have planned[00:01:11]

You are young and you are the future[00:01:15]

So suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can[00:01:18]

The rain hit the old dog in the twilight's last gleaming[00:01:31]

He said Son it sounds like rattling old bones[00:01:35]

This highway is long but I know some that are longer[00:01:39]

By sunup tomorrow I guess I'll be home[00:01:43]

Through the hills of Kentucky 'cross the Ohio river[00:01:47]

The old man kept talking 'bout his life and his times[00:01:51]

He fell asleep with his head against the window[00:01:55]

He said an honest man's pillow is his peace of mind[00:01:59]

This world offers riches and riches will grow wings[00:02:03]

And I don't take stock in those uncertain things[00:02:07]

Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories[00:02:11]

Life sweeps away the dreams that we have planned[00:02:15]

You are young and you are the future[00:02:19]

So suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can[00:02:23]

The old man had a vision but it was hard for me to follow[00:03:04]

I do things my way and I pay a high price[00:03:08]

When I think back on the old man and the bus ride[00:03:12]

Now that I'm older I can see he was right[00:03:16]

So another hot one out on highway eleven[00:03:24]

This is my life[00:03:28]

It's what I've chosen to do[00:03:29]

There's no free rides no one said it'd be easy[00:03:31]

The old man told me this my son I'm telling it to you[00:03:36]

Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories[00:03:40]

Life sweeps away the dreams that we have planned[00:03:44]

You are young and you are the future[00:03:48]

So suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can[00:03:51]
