Don't Blink : The Bluegrass Tribute to Kenny Chesney - Pickin' On Series[00:00:00]
I turned on the evening news[00:00:13]
Saw an old man being interviewed[00:00:16]
Turning a hundred and two today[00:00:20]
Asked him what's the secret to life [00:00:27]
He looked up from his old pipe[00:00:30]
Laughed and said "All I can say is[00:00:34]
Don't blink just like that you're six years old[00:00:39]
And you take a nap[00:00:44]
And you wake up and you're twenty-five[00:00:46]
And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife[00:00:49]
Don't blink you just might miss[00:00:52]
Your babies growing like mine did[00:00:55]
Turning into moms and dads[00:01:00]
Next thing you know your better half[00:01:02]
Of fifty years is there in bed[00:01:05]
And you're praying God takes you instead[00:01:09]
Trust me friend a hundred years[00:01:12]
Goes faster than you think so don't blink[00:01:15]
I was glued to my TV when it looked[00:01:32]
Like he looked at me and said[00:01:36]
"Best start putting first things first"[00:01:40]
'Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand[00:01:45]
You can't flip it over and start again[00:01:48]
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth[00:01:52]
Don't blink just like that you're six years old[00:01:58]
And you take a nap[00:02:03]
And you wake up and you're twenty-five[00:02:05]
And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife[00:02:08]
Don't blink you just might miss[00:02:11]
Your babies growing like mine did[00:02:15]
Turning into moms and dads[00:02:19]
Next thing you know your better half[00:02:21]
Of fifty years is there in bed[00:02:25]
And you're praying God takes you instead[00:02:28]
Trust me friend a hundred years[00:02:32]
Goes faster than you think so don't blink[00:02:35]
So I've been trying to slow it down[00:02:50]
I've been trying to take it in[00:02:54]
In this 'here today gone tomorrow' world we're living in[00:02:57]
So don't blink just like that you're six years old[00:03:04]
And you take a nap[00:03:09]
And you wake up and you're twenty-five[00:03:11]
And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife[00:03:14]
Don't blink you just might miss[00:03:17]
Your babies growing like mine did[00:03:20]
Turning into moms and dads[00:03:24]
Next thing you know your better half[00:03:27]
Of fifty years is there in bed[00:03:30]
And you're praying God takes you instead[00:03:34]
Trust me friend a hundred years[00:03:37]
Goes faster than you think so don't blink[00:03:40]
Don't blink[00:03:50]
Life goes faster than you think[00:04:02]
Oh don't blink[00:04:09]
Don't blink[00:04:22]
