Eight years old

a couple cane poles

sittin' down by the creek

Lines in the water

watchin' those bobbers

seein' that red sun sink

Mama's on the porch yellin' supper's hot

Y'all come and get it

We yelled five more minutes

Si teen it was 12:03

standin' at her front door

Katie's dad said midnight

but we needed just a little more

Yellow light flippin' on and off

interruptin' that goodnight kissin'

We wanted five more minutes

Time rolls by

the clock don't stop

I wish I had a few more drops

of the good stuff

the good times

Aw but they just keep on flyin'

right on by like it ain't nothin'

Wish I had me a

a pause button

Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it

and give myself five more minutes

Eighteen turned my helmet in

walked to the fifty yard line

Just the coach and me

after we

lost eighteen to nine

And I cried

man ne t time to get in here

I'll have to buy a ticket

Can't ya give me five more minutes?

Time rolls by

the clock don't stop

I wish I had a few more drops

of the good stuff

the good times

Aw but they just keep on flyin'

Right on by like it ain't nothin'

Wish I had me a

a pause button

Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it

and give myself five more minutes

Instrumental Break

In '86 my grandpa said

there's angels in the room

All the family gathered 'round

knew the time was comin' soon

With so much left to say I prayed

Lord I ain't finished

Just give us five more minutes

Time rolls by

the clock don't stop

I wish I had a few more drops

of the good stuff

the good times

Aw but they just keep on flyin'

Right on by like it ain't nothin'

Wish I had me a

a pause button

Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it

Yeah sometimes this old life

will leave you wishin'

That you had five more minutes

Five more minutes
