Moments Not Dividends

There was a jet-black limousine

Hazard lights cutting through the evening

So I pulled into the Quick Stop scene

Let that procession pass, just thinking

Don't wait around to mend fences someday

Don't shelve your living for "one of these days"

This life's not something you can hesitate

So ring up your mama, hold your babies

Grab a fistful of wild-grown daisies

Crack a cold one with hometown friends

Chase down moments, not dividends

Cast a line where the big fish hide

Take that backroad Sunday ride

Ease your pace, let the small things hit

Clock keeps running - don't you miss it

I merged back onto that highway

Seeing clearer than I did before

This old country heart's okay

Just needs tuning at the core

As much as I'd love to stall these years

Truth is, time don't shift its gears

This spinning world won't slow for tears

So call up your mama, love on your babies

Snag some blooms off the shoulder lately

Share a drink where your roots run deep

Stack up memories you can keep

Find that sweet spot on the river bend

Let that Sunday sunset mend

Drop it down into low a bit

Clock keeps running - don't you miss it

And it will... until it won't

That old second hand just keeps on

Clock keeps running

So breathe it in while you're living strong

So call up your mama, kiss your babies

Pick those wildflowers growing crazy

Raise a glass with your day-one crew

Make some stories worth holding to

Wet a hook in your secret spot

Take that slow drive you forgot

Ease on back just a little bit

Clock keeps running - don't you miss it

Yeah... the clock keeps running.
