While The Gettin's Good

While The Gettin's Good

(album: County Line - 2014)

He said I woke up and I was twenty five
With a job I didn't want, but I guess it got us by
Got married young, had a son in a house in the town I grew up in
And that's just the way it was

Not even close to how I planned it
Didn't know how good we had it
I ain't telling you how to live your life
You don't have to take this old man's advice

But you better get it while the gettin's good
There's gonna come a day you wish you would
Have been in the stands on a Friday night
When your kid scores a touchdown beneath those lights
And the first thing he does is look up to find you there
And you're there, get it while the gettin's good

Words sure can hit you hard when they get said
From a shell of a man looking at you man in a hospital bed
But tears well up in a loved one's eyes
And you're holding yours back and you start thinking twice
About everything, everything he said to me
And he said...

Better get it while the gettin's good
There's gonna come a day you wish you would
Have been more in the moment with the one you love
On a Sunday morning when she wakes up
And the first thing you do is thank God that she's there
Cause you're there, get it while the gettin's good

So we buried my dad on the 12th of December
And I'll never forget what he said to remember
Moments slip like sand through your hands
When you're gone, you can't get 'em back again

Better get it while the gettin's good
There's gonna come a day you wish you would
Have spent a little more time with your mom when I'm gone
She's gonna need you son, she's gonna be alone
And I feel better just knowing that you're there
Cause I can't be there
Love is all that matters in the end
Get it while the gettin's good
Oh, get it while the gettin's good
