[Verse 1]
Red dirt road in the rearview
Sunburnt hands on the wheel
Laugh lines deep from the long days
That place still feels so real
R.F.D.S. on my shirt front
Dust on my boots and my knees
Laughin’ hard in the heat wave
Sweat rollin’ off in the breeze
[Chorus]
Time flies by, gone too fast
Like a truck on an empty track
All those days I thought would last
They ain’t ever comin’ back
But when I close my eyes to sleep
I’m right there on that red clay street
Every memory hits me deep
Time flies by, gone too fast
[Verse 2]
I can feel those worn R.M. Williams
Scuffed up, moulded to my feet
Every crease got a story
Every heel mark, every beat
I miss One Arm Point mornings
Salt air stuck in my hair
Silence loud as a sermon
Just you, the tide, and the prayer
[Chorus]
Time flies by, gone too fast
Like a truck on an empty track
All those days I thought would last
They ain’t ever comin’ back
But when I close my eyes to sleep
I’m right there on that red clay street
Every memory hits me deep
Time flies by, gone too fast
[Bridge]
If I could steal one fading day
Hold it in these calloused hands
I’d walk that shoreline one more time
Let the hours slip like sand (ohhh)
[Chorus]
Time flies by, gone too fast
Like a truck on an empty track
All those days I thought would last
They ain’t ever comin’ back
But when I close my eyes to sleep
I’m right there where my heart still beats
Every memory hits me deep
Time flies by, gone too fast
