3:41From the moment a man paints his guest room pink You can't help but to think About the reason I'm cleaning this gun Tonight sitting here on the front porch swing Waiting on a shined up Chevy emblem To show up in my drive way I've been dreading this for sixteen years Three months and a couple of days Even though you know it's coming like a freight train Humming from a mile away You think you'll be ready But life's lead foot leaning on the clutch and off the brakes 'Til what's down the line ain't down the line no more That's how time does it You just crack a beer 'cause someday's here And dang if you can't do nothin' Even though you know it's comin' You figure the man that taught you how to fish Is made of steel and bricks It's just strangers and a few good buddies Grandpa's that wind up sick And then one day you're wearing all black Crushed behind a Cadillac Even though you know it's coming like a freight train Humming from a mile away You think you'll be ready But life's lead foot leaning on the clutch and off the brakes 'Til what's down the line ain't down the line no more That's how time does it You just crack a beer 'cause someday's here And dang if you can't do nothin' Even though you know it's comin' As sure as pawpaw's pass on And baby girls grow up Can't even think about the day What the preachers gonna say The rice, the tie, the tux Even though you know it's coming like a freight train Humming from a mile away You think you'll be ready Life's lead foot leaning on the clutch and off the brakes 'Til what's down the line ain't down the line no more That's how time does it You just crack a beer 'cause someday's here And dang if you can't do nothin' Even though you know it's comin' Yeah, even though you know it's comin', mm
