I turned on the evening news
Saw a old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is."

Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth

Don't Blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

So I've been tryin' ta slow it down
I've been tryin' ta take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in

Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster then you think
So Don't blink

Naw, don't blink
Life Goes Faster Than You Think
Don't Blink...

Wild Ride - Kenny Chesney feat. Joe Walsh

I walked in, there sat Slim
Cleaning up his memory with some sapphire gin
Mr. Pain grabbed my arm and pulled me aside
And said kid are you ready for the wild ride

I looked up, there she stood
I say, didn't look so great, i say you look good
Aww she took her hand ran it up my thigh
And said, cowboy you ready for the wild ride

Come on now junior take a wild ride (wild ride)
See can you make it on the wild ride (wild ride)
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride (wild ride)
Things start breakin' on the wild ride (wild ride)
Yes it does

Out on the highway, i saw my mind
In tiny little pieces blown from side to side
My heart was shattered along with my pride
Guess you can't keep 'em on the wild ride

Come on now junior take a wild ride (wild ride)
See can you make it on the wild ride (wild ride)
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride (wild ride)
Things start breakin' on the wild ride (wild ride)
Yeah it does

I was crawling cross the floor, i was tryin' to leave
When i felt something tugging what was left of my sleeve
I heard a little voice with a gold plated vibe
Say i bought a ticket for the wild ride

Come on now junior take a wild ride (wild ride)
See can you make it on the wild ride (wild ride)
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride (wild ride)
We just might break it on the wild ride (wild ride)

Come on now junior take a wild ride (wild ride)
See can you make it on the wild ride (wild ride)
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride (wild ride)
We just might break it on the wild ride (wild ride)

Just Not Today - Kenny Chesney

She played third base on a softball team
Had a pretty good arm and a real nice swing
I was workin' part time at Gentry's farm
Had a thing for a girl in a uniform
After the game she was mine, young, wild and free
Yea, old Mister Gentry was pretty cool
He said, "Son I know where I would be
And if I would say it was me."

But one of these days
Where going to have to grow up and get real jobs
And be adults, some day, but not today
Have to worry about things out of our control
Like kids, love, money and getting old someday
Just not today, just not today.

I had a rope swing hangin' from a Sicomor tree
By a deep little spot on White Sand Creek
Use to walk barefoot down a little dirty path
We would throw out the beach towels and lay on our backs
Had 4 x 4 wheel drive truck parked up in the shade
With those speakers blastin' we never new how much we had it made
With out a care in the world we'd say.

One of these days
Where going to have to grow up and get real jobs
And be adults, some day, but not today
Have to worry about things out of our control
Like kids, love, money and getting old someday
Just not today, just not today.

Have to show some maturity, responsibility, (missed this part)
Face reality maybe tomorrow
The older, wiser and will be
God love us will be.

One of these days
Where going to have to grow up and get real jobs
And be adults, some day, but not today
Have to worry about things out of our control
Like kids, love, money and getting old someday
Just not today, just not today.

Just not today, just not today...

Demons - Kenny Chesney

Sometimes they're in a bottle
Sometimes a pair of high heal shoes
Some come rolled in paper
Some have six strings and only play the blues
Once you meet the devil
There's no way he'll let you be
When I’m not chasing demons
There’s demons chasing me.

Skeletons in closets
Ghost underneath the bed
They hide out in pictures
And in words better left unsaid
They hang around like perfume
And haunt me like an ancient melody
When I'm not chasing demons
There’s demons chasing me.

There's things I can’t leave alone
'Cause they won’t leave me alone
What I want ain’t what I need
Still I reach for the things I crave
Better try to runaway
Maybe I’m afraid of being free
When I’m not chasing demons
There’s demons chasing me.

So roll one up and light it
Pickup my old guitar
I’m playing crossroads
Drinkin' whiskey from the mason jar
There’s heartache at my front door
Says she needs my company
When I’m not chasing demons
There’s demons chasing me.

There's things I can’t leave alone
'Cause they wont leave me alone
What I want ain’t what I need
Still I reach for the things I crave
Better try to runaway
Am I afraid of being free, you tell me
When I’m not chasing demons
There’s demons chasing me.

When I’m not chasing demons
There’s demons chasing me.

There’s demons chasing me
There’s demons chasing me.

When I’m not chasing demons
There’s demons chasing me.

There’s demons chasing me
There’s demons chasing me
There’s demons chasing me
There’s demons chasing me.

When I’m not chasing demons
There’s demons chasing me...

Shiftwork - Kenny Chesney feat. George Strait

Shiftwork, hard work
Tired body, blue collar shirt and a baseball cap
Union made
He's hot, sweat drops
round the clock the door never locks
and the noise never stops night or day
workin' 7 to 3, or 3 to 11, 11 to 7

Shirtwork, tough work
for the busy connivence store clerk
two feet that hurt and going insane
she's mad, at some lad
drove off and didn't pay for his gas
and he won't the last, around the clock pain.
workin' 7 to 3, or 3 to 11, 11 to 7

Talkin' 'bout a bunch of shiftwork
a big ole pile of shiftwork
7 to 3, or 3 to 11, 11 to 7

Well I worked shiftwork for 10 years
man i hated that work then i made a break
with the money i saved
it took me to the beach
to have a beer by the edge of the sea
in this 'round-the-clock place
i drank my money away
we partied 7 to 3, 3 to 11, 11 to 7

I'm talkin' 'bout a bunch of shiftwork
a big ole pile of shiftwork
7 to 3, or 3 to 11, 11 to 7

Talkin' 'bout a bunch of shiftwork
a big ole pile of shiftwork
7 to 3, or 3 to 11, 11 to 7
7 to 3, or 3 to 11, 11 to 7

Never Wanted Nothing More - Kenny Chesney

I couldn't wait to turn sixteen
and drive all the boys around
Foot on the gas and hands on the wheel
was all i could think about

A little rust in the bed of that truck
and a four speed on the floor
Five hundred dollars
it was mine all mine
and i never wanted nothing more

I took Katie down by the river
with a six dollar bottle of wine
Just a fool tryin to play it cool
hopin she'd let me cross the line

and I was prayin that she couldn't tell
I'd never been that far before
The first time's a one time feeling
and I never wanted nothin more...
no I never wanted nothin more

Well, I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not
and I'm sure happy with what I've got
I live to love and laugh a lot
and that's all I need

My buddies all tried to change my mind
but I told them that i thought it through
Well Katey laughed and my momma cried
when they heard me say i do

Her little ring was a little thing
but it was all that i could afford
now shes mine all mine
till the day i die
and i never wanted nothing more
no i never wanted nothing more

Well, im what i am and im what im not
and im sure happy with what i've got
i live to love and laugh alot
and that's all i need

One Sunday I listened to the preacher
and i knew he was preaching to me
I couldn't help it I walked up front
and I got down on my knees

Right then and there I swear
I changed when I found the Lord
Glory Hallelujah Good God Almighty
I never wanted nothing more
no i never wanted nothing more

Well, I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not
and I'm sure happy with what I've got
I live to love and laugh a lot
and that's all I need

I never wanted nothing more
and I never wanted nothing more
