Minutes To Memories - John Mellencamp[00:00:00]

Written by：John Mellencamp/George Michael Green[00:00:01]

On a Greyhound thirty miles[00:00:17]

Beyond Jamestown[00:00:19]

He saw the sun set on[00:00:21]

The Tennessee line[00:00:22]

Looked at the young man who[00:00:25]

Was riding beside him[00:00:26]

He said I'm old kind of[00:00:29]

Worn out inside[00:00:31]

I worked my whole life in the[00:00:33]

Steel mills near Gary[00:00:35]

My father before me[00:00:37]

I helped build this land[00:00:38]

Now seventy seven and with[00:00:41]

God as my witness[00:00:43]

I earned every dollar that[00:00:45]

Passed through my hands[00:00:46]

My family and friends are[00:00:49]

The best things I've known[00:00:51]

Through the eye of the needle[00:00:53]

I'll carry them home[00:00:54]

Days turn to minutes[00:00:57]

And minutes to memories[00:00:58]

Life sweeps away the dreams[00:01:01]

We have planned[00:01:03]

You are young and[00:01:05]

You are the future[00:01:07]

Suck it up and tough it out[00:01:08]

Be the best you can[00:01:11]

Rain hit the old dog in the[00:01:21]

Twilight's last gleaming[00:01:23]

He said Son it sounds[00:01:25]

Like rattling old bones[00:01:27]

This highway is long but[00:01:29]

I know some that are longer[00:01:31]

By sun up tomorrow I guess[00:01:33]

I'll be home[00:01:35]

The hills of Kentucky 'cross[00:01:37]

The Ohio river[00:01:39]

The old man kept talking 'bout[00:01:41]

His life and his times[00:01:43]

He fell asleep with his head[00:01:45]

Against the window[00:01:48]

He said an honest man's pillow[00:01:49]

Is his peace of mind[00:01:51]

This world offers riches[00:01:53]

And riches will grow wings[00:01:55]

And I don't take stock in[00:01:57]

Those uncertain things[00:01:59]

Days turn to minutes[00:02:02]

And minutes to memories[00:02:03]

Life sweeps away the dreams[00:02:06]

We have planned[00:02:07]

You are young and[00:02:10]

You are the future[00:02:11]

Suck it up and tough it out[00:02:13]

Be the best you can[00:02:15]

The old man had a vision[00:02:50]

It was hard for me to follow[00:02:52]

I do things my way pay[00:02:54]

An awfully high price[00:02:55]

When I think back on the[00:02:58]

Old man and the bus ride[00:02:59]

Now that I'm older[00:03:02]

I can see he was right[00:03:03]

Another hot one out[00:03:10]

On highway eleven[00:03:12]

This is my life it's what[00:03:14]

I've chosen to do[00:03:16]

There's no free rides and[00:03:18]

No one said it'd be easy[00:03:19]

The old man told me this my son[00:03:22]

I'm telling it to you[00:03:23]

Days turn to minutes[00:03:26]

And minutes to memories[00:03:27]

Life sweep away the dreams[00:03:30]

We have planned[00:03:31]

You are young[00:03:34]

And you are the future[00:03:35]

Suck it up and tough it out[00:03:37]

Be the best you can[00:03:40]
