Father Time

Scout and me are having some quality time The barricade is holding; the weather is fine And I know some day I'll be a stranger in her eyes But right now, my girl is a very good friend of mine She's growing up as fast as she possibly can She cocks her little shotgun just like her old man It's a shame most heroes never stand the test of time But right now, my girl is a very good friend of mine You can't tell me nothing worth the winning goes away It goes away But that don't mean we can't get used to living for today I just remember what my old man used to say Don't cry for the setting sun when the day's not yet begun Old father time, you're a very good friend of mine There's a big old world beyond this perimeter fence And way too many holes in our inner defense So give her love and ammo and some basic martial arts And she'll be fine; gonna break all the poor boys' hearts One more slip and daddy's fit to crawl up from the ground I always hoped that she would be the one to gun me down But you know your kids can't follow every step you take Gotta set them free to make their own mistakes So you can't tell me nothing worth the winning goes away It goes away But that don't mean we can't get used to living for today Just remember what your old man used to say Don't cry for the setting sun when that ol' day's not yet begun Old father time, you're a very good friend of mine Father time, you're a very good friend of mine
