Kenny Chesney




"Don't Blink"

I turned on the evening news
Saw an old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is ."

Don't Blinkjust like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turning into moms and dads; next thing you know your better half of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't Blink

I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hour glass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breath God gives you for what it's worth

Don't Blink
just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half of fifty years is there in bed And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

So I've been tryin' to slow it down
I've been tryin' to take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in

Don't Blink
just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and ya'
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't Blink just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turning into moms and dads; next thing you know your better half of fifty years is there in bed And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think
So Don't Blink

No, don't blink
life goes faster than you think

I'm sure everyone has heard this song at some point. Kenny Chesney really emphasizes on living every moment to it's fullest and never taking any of it for granted. At a certain point in life your going to look back and wonder where the time went and the memories you had and who you shared them with. This song title explains this song completely. the meaning "don't blink" means live your life, don't go through it with just ending one day of work and no play because your going to get older and not appreciate life how you should where ever you are. Live your life, and live it well.
