I sat down at a park bench watching my children play When this old timer took a seat he said hello hows your day Said to tell you the truth I shouldnt be here doing this Between the headlines and deadlines Ive got no time to reminisce Thats when he said sounds like youre a busy man son that aint front page news He said once upon a time I was wearing your brand of boots so listen up Ive gone the wrong way Ive learn the hard way Babys crawls then they walk before you know it There driven away As your staring at the tail lights you can feel life passing you by It goes zero to sixty in the blink of the eye He took a picture from his wallet that he carried threw out the war Of the beautiful brunet he married in 1944 My angel flew way its almost been five years And he told me her name then he wiped away his tear Then he said take a look at your little girl Enjoy that little girl smile Because on day your gonna turn around youll be walking her down the isle Repeat Chorus So count your many blessing and love with all your heart and hold on tight You better cherish every morning and hit your knees every night So I said lord Ive gone the wrong way Ive learned the hard way We live we die the years fly by like white lines on the high way Slow me down and make me see The kind of man I need to be Zero to sixty lives goes zero to sixty the old man said Ive gone the wrong way Ive learn the hard way Baby crawls then they walk before you know it There driven away As your staring at the tail lights you can feel life passing you by It goes zero to sixty in the blink of the eye. in the blink of the eye
