  Eight years old, a couple cane poles sittin' down by the creek 

  Lines in the water, watching those bobbers seein' that red sun sink 

  Mama's on the porch yelling "Supper's hot, y'all come and get it!" 

  We yelled five more minutes

  S2:
  At sixteen it was twelve o three standin' at her front door 

  Katie's dad said midnight but we needed just a little more 

  Yellow light flipping on and off interruptin' that goodnight kissing 

  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 flying 

  Right on by like it ain't nothing, wish I had me a pause button 

  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 

  It's just the coach and me after we lost state, ten 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?

  At eighty-six, my grandpa said, there's angels in the room 

  With all the family gathered 'round we knew that time was coming soon 

  With so much left to say I prayed, lord, I ain't finished 

  Just give us five more minutes

  Yeah, sometimes this old life will leave you wishing 

  That you had five more minutes -x---x---x
