Eight years old, couple cane poles sittin' down by the creek Lines in the water watchin' those bobbers, seein' that red sun sink Mama's on the porch yellin', "Supper's hot, y'all come and get it" We yelled, "Five more minutes" At sixteen it was 12:03 standin' at her front door Katie's dad said midnight, but we needed just a little more Yellow light flippin' on and off, interruptin' that goodnight kissin' We wanted five more minutes Time rolls by, the clock don't stop I wish I had a few more drops Of the good stuff, the good times Oh, but they just keep on flyin' Right on by, like it ain't nothin' I wish I had me a, a pause bu*ton Moments like those, Lord knows I'd hit it And give myself five more minutes At eighteen, turned my helmet in and walked to the fifty-yard line Just the coach and me after we lost eighteen to nine And I cried, "Man, next time to get in here, I'll have to buy a ticket Can't you give me five more minutes?" Time rolls by, the clock don't stop I wish I had a few more drops Of the good stuff, the good times Oh, but they just keep on flyin' Right on by, like it ain't nothin' I wish I had me a, a pause bu*ton Moments like those, Lord knows I'd hit it And give myself five more minutes At eighty-six my grandpa said, "There's angels in the room" All the family gathered 'round, knew the time was comin' soon With so much left to say I prayed, Lord, I ain't finished Just give us five more minutes Time rolls by, the clock don't stop I wish I had a few more drops Of the good stuff, the good times Oh, but they just keep on flyin' Right on by, like it ain't nothin' I wish I had me a, a pause bu*ton Moments like those, Lord knows I'd hit it Yeah, sometimes this old life will leave you wishin' That you had five more minutes Five more minutes
