Paroles

[Verse 1]
I'm crawling along in traffic from work the other day
Seeing things I'd never seen, though I'd driven the same way
I came upon an older man sitting lonesome in his yard
With a sign that read "handmade doll houses" hanging from his barn
[Verse 2]
I pulled into his driveway and asked him how he was
He nodded towards the roadside and said, "Better now because
People rarely come by here, they're always moving way too fast
But it slowed enough to make you stop when you usually would've passed"
[Chorus]
And I was thinking 'bout the time gone and how he lived there all alone
How sometimes, life'll slow you down for lessons you need to learn
Now I know that I am blessed, and that is why I'll always say
That getting old is something that happens to the lucky
[Instrumental]
I asked about them houses, he said he's moved on ten this year
One for every season since his daughter left from here
He told me of her service, and the phone calls he'd received
And 'bout how she couldn't've been more proud of herself and all her team
And just like a true lioness, she protected others first
Her kindness was her beauty, her absence now his curse
[Chorus]
And he was thinking 'bout the times gone and how he prayed for her return
But sometimes, life'll knock you down to show you what it's worth
Now I know that I am blessed, and that is why I'll always say
That getting old is something that happens to the lucky
[Verse 3]
I thanked the man for his message, then I bought one of his crafts
Took it home and sat my daughter down upon my lap
And now I'm thinkin' 'bout the time I've got, and I'm happy to be home
Just take the time to slow it down and find out what it's worth
[Chorus]
Between losing hope and sacrifice, it's clearly plain to see
The things that really matter most are the ones you call your family
Now I know that I am blessed, and that is why I'll always say
That getting old is something that happens to the lucky
Yeah, getting old is something that happens to the lucky
