Don't Blink Lyrics - Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates - Kenny Chesney

I turned on the evening news 

Saw an old man being interviewed 

Turning a hundred and two today 

Asked him what's the secret to life? 

He looked up from his old pipe 

Laughed and said, "All I can say is 

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 don't blink 

I was glued to my TV, when it looked 

Like he looked at me and said 

"Best start putting first things first" 

'Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand 

You can't flip it over and start again 

Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth 

Don't blink, 'cause 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 don't blink 

So I've been trying to slow it down 

I've been trying to take it in 

In this 'here today, gone tomorrow' world we're living in 

So don't blink, 'cause 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 don't blink 

No, don't blink 

Don't blink 

Life goes faster than you think 

So don't blink 

Life goes faster than you think 

Don't blink 

Don't blink 

Life goes faster than you think
