8 years old, a couple cane poles, sittin' down by the creek Lions in the water, watchin' those bombers, seein' that red sun sink Momma's on the porch yellin' supper's hot Y'all come and get it, we yelled five more minutes At sixteen it was twelve on three, standin' at her front door Katie's dad said midnight, but we needed just a little more Yellow light flippin' on and off, interruptin' that goodnight kissin' We wanted five more minutes Time rolls by, the clock don't stop, I wish I had a few more drops Of the good stuff, the good times, oh but they just keep on flyin' Right on by like it ain't nothin', I wish I had me a pause button Moments like those Lord knows I'd hate to give myself five more minutes At eighteen turned my helmet in, walked to the fifty yard line Just the coach and me, after we lost eight ten to nine And I cried, man next time to get in here, I'll have to buy a ticket Can't you give me five more minutes Time rolls by, the clock don't stop, I wish I had a few more drops Of the good stuff, the good times, oh but they just keep on flyin' Right on by like it ain't nothin', I wish I had me a pause button Moments like those Lord knows I'd hate to give myself five more minutes In eighty-six my grandpa said, there's angels in the room All the family gathered round, knew the time was comin' soon With so much left to say I prayed, Lord I ain't finished Just give us five more minutes Time rolls by, the clock don't stop, I wish I had a few more drops Of the good stuff, the good times, oh but they just keep on flyin' Right on by like it ain't nothin', I wish I had me a pause button Moments like those Lord knows I'd hate to give myself five more minutes Five more minutes
