    Verse 1
    Someone 
    said, 

    "Youth 
    is wasted 
    on 
    the 
    young" 

    spilled 
    every 
    last 
    drop 
    of time 
    that 

    sum
    mer in 
    the sun

    My 
    daddy 
    had 
    Timex watch 

    Cigarette 
    in his hand 

    and a mouth
    ful 
    of scotch 

    Spin
    nin' 
    me 
    around 
    like a 

    a tilt-a-whirl 
    on 
    his arm 

    Houses 
    need 
    paint, 
    winters 
    bring 
    Verse 2
    snow 

    Kids, 
    come 
    on 
    in before 
    your 

    supper 
    gets 
    cold 

    Collection 
    plates 
    and daddy's 
    bill
    fold 

    And 
    that's 
    how it goes 

    You live long 
    enough, 

    people 
    get 
    old 

    Verse 3

    sat 
    up right 
    beside 
    him in the 

    cab
    in 
    of that 
    truck 

    Goin' 
    thirty 
    miles-an-hour 
    down down 
    down a 

    side 
    road 
    talkin' 
    'bout the 
    fish 
    we caught 

    And 
    I'm older 
    now 
    than he was 
    then 

    If I could 
    go back 
    in time, 

    would 
    in a second 

    To his 
    beat-up 
    blue blue 
    jeans 
    and 

    t-shirt with 
    with the 
    sleeves 
    cut 
    off 

    Verse 4
    Houses 
    need 
    paint, 
    winters 
    bring 
    snow 

    Kids 
    growin' 
    up 
    and seekin' 

    out the 
    window 

    Hittin' 
    every 
    small-town 
    dirt 
    dirt 
    road 

    And that's 
    how 
    it goes 

    You live 
    long 
    enough 
    and people 

    get 
    old 

    Yeah, 
    people 
    get 
    old 

    Verse 5
    Daddy 
    keeps 
    busy 
    in the 
    aftenoons 

    play
    in' cards 
    by 
    himsel

    And he 
    shouldn't 
    be shovelin' 
    that 
    first 
    snow, 

    but 
    you know 
    he won't 
    take 
    the 
    help 

    Full 
    of pride 
    and love, 

    he don't 
    say 
    too much 
    but 
    hell, 
    he 
    never 
    did 

    And 
    you 
    still 
    think 
    he's 
    forty-five 
    and 
    and 

    he still 
    thinks 
    that you're a 
    kid 

    Verse 6
    One day 
    you'll find 
    yourself 
    say

    in' the 
    thing
    that he said 

    You'll 
    be walk
    in' down 
    the hallway, 

    turnin' 
    off 
    every light 
    switch 

    When 
    you twirl 
    your 
    kids 
    in 
    your 
    arm

    Before 
    you 
    know it, 

    it won't 
    take 
    too 
    long 

    They'll be 
    runnin' 
    off 
    makin' 

    a life 
    just 
    like 
    you 
    did 

    Verse 7
    Houses 
    need 
    paint, 

    winters 
    bring 
    snow 

    Nothin' 
    says 
    "love" 

    like a 
    band 
    of 
    gold 

    Babies 
    grow 
    up 
    and houses 
    get 
    sold 

    And 
    that's how 
    it 
    goes 

    Time 
    is a thief, 
    pain 
    is a gift 

    The past 
    is the pas
    t, 

    it 
    is what 
    it 
    is 

    Every 
    line 
    on your 
    face 
    tells 

    story 
    somebody 
    knows 

    That's 
    just 
    how it goes 

    You live 
    long 
    enough 
    and 
    the 
    people 
    you love 

    Outro 1
    get 
    old

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
