Father Time Songtext
von Tim Cameron

Scout and me are having some quality time
The barricade is holding; the weather is fine
And I know some day I′ll be a stranger in her eyes
But right now, my girl is a very good friend of mine

She's growing up as fast as she possibly can
She cocks her little shotgun just like her old man
It′s a shame most heroes never stand the test of time
But right now, my girl is a very good friend of mine

You can't tell me nothing worth the winning goes away
It goes away
But that don't mean we can′t get used to living for today
I just remember what my old man used to say
Don′t cry for the setting sun when the day's not yet begun
Old father time, you′re a very good friend of mine


There's a big old world beyond this perimeter fence
And way too many holes in our inner defense
So give her love and ammo and some basic martial arts
And she′ll be fine; gonna break all the poor boys' hearts

One more slip and daddy′s fit to crawl up from the ground
I always hoped that she would be the one to gun me down
But you know your kids can't follow every step you take
Gotta set them free to make their own mistakes

So you can't tell me nothing worth the winning goes away
It goes away
But that don′t mean we can′t get used to living for today
Just remember what your old man used to say
Don't cry for the setting sun when that ol′ day's not yet begun
Old father time, you′re a very good friend of mine
Father time, you're a very good friend of mine
