Where time goes

[INTRO] Funny how the good days Don’t look perfect when you’re in ’em But years go by And you start missing every minute [VERSE 1] Late night porch talks With the crickets singing low Old Cherokee stories And the ways we used to know Ford versus Chevy Like it split the whole town He’d laugh and pick his side Never had to put you down Faith on his shoulder But never like a chain He had his road to walk And he let yours look strange I was just a kid In a room too loud Learning how to hide When the whispers came around [PRE-CHORUS] Then somebody grabbed a guitar And the whole room changed For a little while We forgot our pain [CHORUS] Where’d the time go Where’d the firelight fade Barefoot in the grass While the old songs played Where’d the time go Where’d those nights run off We were young, we were hurt But we still had love When the years get cold And the road feels low I still see that glow Where’d the time go [VERSE 2] Family reunions And smoke in the air Pulled pork plates And folding lawn chairs Hensens Farm nights Mohican skies Bluegrass on stage And kids running wild Tom and Jerry walking Back and forth all day Creeks full of sunlight Fields full of hay Berries in a bucket Bee warnings out back Little lessons hiding In an old dirt path [PRE-CHORUS] We didn’t know then What the years would take But the little lights stayed When the big things changed [CHORUS] Where’d the time go Where’d the firelight fade Barefoot in the grass While the old songs played Where’d the time go Where’d those nights run off We were young, we were hurt But we still had love When the years get cold And the road feels low I still see that glow Where’d the time go [VERSE 3] Life gets heavy People choose their side Anger builds a wall And distance learns to climb Some carry bottles Some carry blame Some carry childhood Like a last name Broken moms crying Hurt daughters grow Sons learn silence When they don’t know where to go But out by the fire The world felt small Cards on the table Coffee through it all [BRIDGE] Here’s to the men Who helped me grow Hands in the dirt Taking life slow Hunting in the morning Working till the sun Teaching without speeches Just showing how it’s done Bluegrass wasn’t my road But now I know Those songs in the night Taught my heart where to go [FINAL CHORUS] Where’d the time go Where’d the firelight fade Barefoot in the grass While the old songs played Where’d the time go Where’d those nights run off We were young, we were hurt But we still had love When the years get cold And the road feels low I still see that glow Where’d the time go Where’d the time go Maybe it ain’t gone Maybe it lives In every old song Maybe those days Still light the road When the world gets dark And I need something to hold [OUTRO] Wasn’t all golden Wasn’t all kind But I keep the little lights From that old life Where’d the time go Blood on the Mic is now streaming on Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube Music, and other major platforms.
