Father Time - Newban

Father time's over there, looking over my shoulder I'm here soaking up the sun and thinking I ain't gettin' no younger Crashing waves clawing at the shore That's been going on forever and more There's somethin' 'bout the sun in Mexico that burns different And this island smells familiar Don't remember what I can't forget Still living this dream, and it ain't over yet Ain't over yet Married young, worked hard to raise four children Played every bar in every small town that would have me Finally met a record man who signed me Said he liked the way my star was shinin', hit the road Man, that ain't no place to start a family But that highway looks familiar Don't remember what I can't confess Still living this dream, and it ain't over yet When was the last time We did somethin' for the first time, baby? Been a long, long time Uh-huh, uh-huh Oh, it's been a long, long time, baby Oh, been a long, long time Uh-huh, yeah, yeah Hard right to the head, left hook to the body Ain't nobody goin' down, but they sure taking a beating And the songs we sing won't change it No matter how loud we play it, I can see it I just don't know what to do about it Yeah, history looks familiar Don't remember, but we can't forget Still living this dream, and it ain't over yet Still living this dream, and it ain't over yet It ain't over yet And father time's over there, looking over my shoulder
