Lifetime

I called my mama yesterday

To wish her happy birthday

She said

Babe

Your mama's getting old

And I'm glad to be alive today

You know

I'm 10years cancer free

And I thank the good Lord everyday

But Marie's got it bad

And honey

Patsy's passed away

She Said

A lifetime ain't no time at all

A lifetime ain't no time at all

As I listened to my mama's voice

I felt a chill pass right thru

I've seen the virus take the boys

I got friends that been sick too

I told her bout how Michael died

With his friends around him everyday

How we all took turns there by his side

And we helped him disappear that way

A lifetime ain't no time at all

A lifetime ain't no time at all

Mama said well ain't we a mess

Child we're full of life

And scared of death

It must be hell to watch your friends die young

But honey getting old now there's some fun

Life'd mean nothing if we didn't die

Laughter empty if we didn't cry

It's all the way it's supposed to be

It moves fast it's hard to see

Cause a lifetime ain't no time at all

Cause a lifetime ain't no time at all

A lifetime ain't no time at all
