Five More Minutes
Scotty McCleary
Album: Live At The Grand Ole Opry


G
Eight years old a couple cane poles sitting down by the creek
     Em
Our lines in the water watching those bobbers seeing that red sun sink
C
Mama's on the porch yelling supper's hot, y'all come and get it
Em               D    C
We yelled five more minutes.

G
At sixteen it was twelve o three standing at her front door
Em
Katie's dad said midnight, but we needed just a little more
C
Yellow light flipping on and off, interruptin that goodnight kissin
           Em   D     C
We wanted five more minutes

Chorus

C
Time rolls by the clock don't stop
I wish I had a few more drops
        G                    D
Of the good stuff, the good times
Em                         D
Oh but they just keep on flying
C
Right on by like it ain't nothing
Wish I had me a pause button
Em                  D              C
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
                   D    G
Give myself five more minutes

G
At eighteen turned my helmet in and walked to the fifty yard line
               Em
It's just the coach and me after we lost eighteen to nine
             C
And I cried man next time to get in here I'll have to buy a ticket
                   Em   D     C 
Can't you give me five more minutes

Chorus

C
Time rolls by the clock don't stop
I wish I had a few more drops
        G                    D
Of the good stuff, the good times
Em                         D
Oh but they just keep on flying
C
Right on by like it ain't nothing
Wish I had me a pause button
Em                  D              C
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
                   D    EM
Give myself five more minutes

G
At eighty-six my grandpa said there's angels in the room
Em
With all the family gathered 'round we knew that time was coming soon
     C
With so much left to say I prayed Lord I ain't finished
              Em   D    C
Just give us five more minutes

Chorus

C
Time rolls by the clock don't stop
I wish I had a few more drops
        G                    D
Of the good stuff, the good times
Em                         D
Oh but they just keep on flying
C
Right on by like it ain't nothing
Wish I had me a pause button
Em                  D              C
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it

Yeah sometimes this all life will leave you wishing
              D         G
Let you have five more minutes
Em    D     G
Five more minutes
