Time sure is fleeting and it goes by so fast
You never truly know when the next time might be the last
So don't get stuck in your head
And never miss your chance
To tell somebody that you love them
Before they can't say it back
It appears as though I've known you forever
And maybe a couple days before
And don't you get me started on those summer nights on the porch
When you became the best of friends that I'd ever known before
The days are long, but they sure go fast
Oh mama, I don't know if I'm ever coming back
So send a prayer for me while I'm stuck out in the city
I'll remember everything that my mama taught me
The days are long, but they sure go fast
Oh mama, I don't know if I'm ever coming back
So send a prayer for me while I'm stuck out in the city
I'll remember everything that my mama taught me
So send a prayer for me while I'm stuck out in the city
I'll remember everything that my mama taught me
