I'd like to uhm Sing this next song for my son Jason Who's, ah, old enough to take care of himself But, it's always nice to have someone Looking out for you no matter how old you are Nothing's gonna harm you Not while I'm around Nothing's gonna harm you No sir, not while I'm around Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays I'll send 'em howling, I don't care I've got ways No one's gonna hurt you No one's gonna dare Others can desert you Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there Demons'll charm you with a smile For a while But in time Nothing can harm you Not while I'm around Being close and being clever Ain't like being true I don't need to I would never hide a thing from you Like some No one's gonna hurt you No one's gonna dare Others can desert you Not to worry, whistle I'll be there Oh, demons'll charm you with a smile For a while But in time Nothin' can harm you Not while I'm around

You always wanted songs of celebration On how to cease the day But you'd never think that I'd be coming your way List of my demands: I don't want to make you sad For the sake of both of us I'll stand This time I can Leave me out this time You might fall down this time You know and I might even find you You can't give me what's mine I need this for myself And right now you're not helping So know we're through I know it's not what I say that matters It's what I do So what does that say when I'd do anything for you Well I guess we're back to square one Feels like it always ends this way One moment you praise my patience The next I'm too slow And you said you'd let me know You might fall down this time You know and I might even find you You cant give me what's mine I need this for myself And right now you're not helping So know we're through Know we're... Leave me out this time Leave me out this time Leave me out this time Leave me

Make amends with that old friend You swore you'd never never talk to again Because you miss him Call up your mom on the telephone Talk a whole lot of nothing 'til the cows come home And listen Cross every T, dot most the I's 'Cause years grow wings and fly on by And time slips through your fingers just like sand 'Cause everything you thought would last forever Never lasts forever, like you plan Don't let your now become a never So take life by the hands while you still can Get your daddy to tell that same old joke And laugh between the jack and coke And hope one day you'll be half as funny Count your blessings and your stars It's in the air and who you are It's about the wealth you give It sure as hell ain't about the money 'Cause everything you thought would last forever Never lasts forever, like you plan Don't let your now become a never So take life by the hands while you still can You just imagine Anything can happen if you live every moment like your last 'Cause everything you thought would last forever Never lasts forever, like you plan Don't let your now become a never So take life by the hands while you still can

Only thing I've ever done (Ticking time is running out) Closest I've ever come (Ticking time is running out) Oh, so tired on my own (Ticking time is running out) Best days I've ever known (Ticking time is running out) Yesterday, I found out the world was ending Yesterday, I found out the world was ending A little more every day Falls apart and slips away Well, I don't mind, I'm okay Wish it didn't have to end this way These four walls are closing in (Ticking time is running out) Of all the things that might have been (Ticking time is running out) Watching others walking by (Ticking time is running out) God forgive me if I cry (Ticking time is running out) A little more every day Falls apart and slips away And I don't mind, I'm okay Nothing ever stays the same Well, while we can remember when Always right here, even then Stay with me Hold me near While I'm still here

Well, daddy taught me how to throw curveball The summer I turned 13 And first base, first taste of finding a song on my old six-string I wish I would known then what I know now Yeah, I guess we all do It wasn't very long 'fore I found out life throws a pretty mean curveball too It'll get you high It'll get you low That's just life And how It goes Well, daddy was gone by the time that I felt my first heartbreak And good lord, that good lord sure can give and sure can take I wish I'd known then what I know now, I guess we all do Now there's pictures on the wall, up and down the hall Of me and her sayin' I do It'll get you high It'll get you low That's just life And how it goes It's blessings and burnings and lessons and learning And playing and working and healing and hurting It's praying and cursing One thing's for certain That's just life Yeah, that's just life That's just life Yeah, that's just life The smiles, the laughs the tears that flow The good, the bad will pass as sure as the sun Coming up in the morning The sun's coming up in the morning So, love and live and take It slow No matter where you're at Just know that the sun's coming up in the morning That's just life Yeah, that's just life That's just life Yeah, that's just life It'll get you high It'll get you low That's just life And how It goes It's blessings and burnings and lessons and learning And playing and working and healing and hurting It's praying and cursing One thing's for certain That's just life Yeah, that's just life That's just life Yeah, that's just life Some things you can't change Some things you can't explain You gotta give it to the lord That's just life Yeah, that's just life Some things you can't change Some things you can't explain You gotta give it to the lord That's just life Yeah, that's just life

Tell me that you love me Say "We'll always work it out" I know it's kinda scary, but it's only temporary doubt I've done a lot of stupid things But promise that you're gonna stay long enough to grow old with me We're gonna see the good times, love each other through the bad It's gonna hurt like hell when we lose our moms and dads So let my shoulder hold your tears Walk beside me through the years Baby let's see, where this love could lead Let's hold hands on your favorite beach Fix up a house that we found in the city limits Tangled up in a satin sheet And get a little loud when we've had too much to drink And learn to love from a church pew Laugh about all the times we counted pennies Buy some land with a good view to start a family Baby grow old with me It's gonna take a little time, we'll have to work at it everyday We're gonna lose a lot of sleep and learn to eat out of a microwave You know we'll probably never have it all But that's part of building up the walls Strong enough to stand up through the rain We'll make some love on your favorite beach Add to the house that we found in the city limits Talk our babies through the bad dreams When they get a little older, we'll tell them not to drink Book a church when she finds a groom Laugh about all the times they'll count the pennies Give 'em land with a good view To start a family And baby you know we might take a turn down a bad road Maybe go where the wind blows, baby But end up right where we were meant to be, yeah Back and forth on a porch swing Hard not to smile, thinking how it don't get much better Our babies, babies turning 18 What a family, hmm Baby grow old with me Baby grow old with me Baby grow old with me, yeah Tell me that you love me Say "We'll always work it out"
