Friday night, home alone
Me and the misses watching our favorite programs
Talking about them kids and boy how they’ve grown
One’s off at college I couldn’t be more proud
To stand up tall and scream out loud and say
Finally got something right in my life
Now in the blink of an eye it all flashes by
And I hold my breath and wave goodbye and say
“Can’t wait to see ya next time”
See, I got an empty nest and a hole in my chest
And lately I’ve been quite depressed
Don’t remind my wife, it only makes her cry
I wonder what them kids are doing
Most days and nights
What do they got brewing?
Hope they’re having the time of their lives
Did thye get enough to eat today?
‘Cause I know just what their grammy’d say
She’d say, “Fly away”
Saturday morning, rolling out of bed
Me and the misses slept in late again
Finally found that time we was looking for
And the way the light strikes through the blinds
Of this big old house with rays of sunlight
Fills the sweet souls of this home
Memories. captured within our minds
Take us back to all those special times
That you and I have collected along the way
If only time could stand still a little longer
Maybe I could be a bit stronger
Instead of wandering around wondering
“Where did everybody go?”
We blink our eyes and act surprised
They grow up fast then we realize
All you can do is just wave goodbye
