I was five years old
Sitting in that dirt
Bout several feet from the back porch
Sitting right there playing with an old tonka truck
Not worried about a little mud
That boy back then never worried bout time
Now the man trying to not fall behind
In a race against time in my mind
I can't seem to slow it down, no matter how hard I try
I tried to pump the brakes
But that pedal goes straight to the floor
I remember the little boy had some big ole dreams
Wanted to go and be the next Dale Earnhardt
That boy could've never dreamt of
Where he'd be now
Or the path God lead him down
Hell I'm just trying to get by
In a race against time
In a race against time in my mind
I can't seem to slow it down, no matter how hard I try
I tried to pump the brakes
But that pedal goes straight to the floor
Life's slipping right through my hands
Like the sand in an hour glass
Just wishing I could tip it back
In race against time in my mind
That boy could've never dreamt of where he'd be now
Or the path God lead him down
In a race against time in my mind
I can't seem to slow it down, no matter how hard I try
I tried to pump the brakes
But that pedal goes straight to the floor
Was sitting right there in that dirt
Not a worry in the world
