Kenny Chesney-Don't Blink

Kenny Chesney Lyrics - Don’t Blink Lyrics

I turned on the evening news
Saw an old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
They asked him what’s the secret to life
He looked up from his ol’ pipe
Laughed and said,
“All I can say is”

Chorus
Don’t blink
Just like that
You’re six years old and you take a nap
And you wake up and you’re twenty-five
And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don’t blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads
Next thing you know
Your better half of fifty years is there in bed
And you’re praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend
A hundred years goes faster than you think
So but don’t blink

I was glued to my TV
When it looked like he looked at me
And said,
“Let’s start putting first things first”
‘Cause when your hourglass runs outta sand
You can’t flip it over, start again
Took every breath God gives you, for what it’s worth

Chorus

So I been trying to slow it down
I been trying to take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we’re living in

Chorus

Tag
Now, don’t blink
Don’t blink
Life goes faster than you think
Don’t blink
Life goes faster than you think
Don’t blink
Don’t blink
Life goes faster than you think
