[Verse 1]
I still see that gym floor wax
Blue caps turned in at the desk
You in the back row by the window
And me actin' like I knew the rest
Now there's a ring in the glove box
Baby shoes by the front door
Funny how a whole life happens
While I'm still standin' there like before
[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear it was July
Then a blink, then goodbye
The years got a way of sneakin' by
[Chorus]
Time never stops
Time never stops
High school feels close
But it ain't in my hand
Time never stops
Time never stops
I was just a kid
Now I'm a husband and dad
(Time never stops)
[Verse 2]
There's a little blue lunch pail
On the table by the sink
A crayon sun on the fridge door
And a note from your older link
Your mama's eyes in your laughter
Your boy's got my stubborn chin
I look at them and I wonder
Where did all that time go again
[Pre-Chorus]
One day you're laughin'
Next day you're payin' bills
And the old town fades
But it haunts you still
[Chorus]
Time never stops
Time never stops
High school feels close
But it ain't in my hand
Time never stops
Time never stops
I was just a kid
Now I'm a husband and dad
(Time never stops)
[Bridge]
If I could call that boy back
I'd tell him slow down, son
Hold your friends a little tighter
'Cause it's gone when it's done
I'd tell him love who loves him
And don't let go too fast
'Cause the road don't wait for nobody
And the hard days never ask
[Chorus]
Time never stops
Time never stops
High school feels close
But it ain't in my hand
Time never stops
Time never stops
I was just a kid
Now I'm a husband and dad
(Time never stops)
[Outro]
And the steel keeps cryin'
The fiddle bends low
Time never stops
And I already know
