Demun Jones - Live A Little lyrics

Yeah my truck is covered in rust but it
Gets me where I need to go
And my pops yeah he's still working
But he's moving kinda slow
The day will come my kids'll be grown
Ain't playing in the yard no more
Instead of chasing time I'll go
And live a little

Oh my how time it flies and
All I know is grind
Dear god if you hear me give me a sign
Cause I'm not really trying to waste
Another minute chasing a dime
I can't afford to spend
Attention on the lies
I'm staring at the hourglass as
The saying keeps slipping
My kids are growing so
Fast man I'm trippin'
They went straight from sippy cup
Sipping to sending emails
Collecting Barbie dolls and seashells to
Asking me details hell
I tell the truth don't know what else to say
I keep praying for balance but there's
No time in the day
I been at work half of their life
And part of me thinks it's wrong
Only wanted to keep them safe and
Make my family strong come on

Yeah my truck is covered in rust but it
Gets me where I need to go
And my pops yeah he's still working
But he's moving kinda slow
The day will come my kids'll be grown
Ain't playing in the yard no more
Instead of chasing time I'll go
And live a little

The time ticks as the present melts
Into the future till it's something else
I see myself in the mirror I can hear it loud
Voices in my head saying that
I should be proud
Of all of accomplished and
Honestly I haven't
Stopped much to enjoy what I got
I'm too busy stacking on top
To up it a notch
That I forgot to check the time on the clock
I turned around another year just
Popped and it don't stop
I've learned the time is valuable
Down to the minute
Even more precious than gold if you
Know how to spend it
Day by day as I get
Older I'm approaching the finish
I need to know my family knows why I did it

Yeah my truck is covered in rust but it
Gets me where I need to go
And my pops yeah he's still working
But he's moving kinda slow
The day will come my kids'll be grown
Ain't playing in the yard no more
Instead of chasing time I'll go
And live a little

This life is short and sometimes it
Feels like a roller coaster
Just sit back enjoy the ride stay
Blessed and do your best
Dollar bills keep them lights on
But remember money and everything
So make sure the people you love know it
