Minutes To Memories - John Mellencamp
Written by：John Mellencamp/George Michael Green
On a Greyhound thirty miles
Beyond Jamestown
He saw the sun set on
The Tennessee line
Looked at the young man who
Was riding beside him
He said I'm old kind of
Worn out inside
I worked my whole life in the
Steel mills near Gary
My father before me
I helped build this land
Now seventy seven and with
God as my witness
I earned every dollar that
Passed through my hands
My family and friends are
The best things I've known
Through the eye of the needle
I'll carry them home
Days turn to minutes
And minutes to memories
Life sweeps away the dreams
We have planned
You are young and
You are the future
Suck it up and tough it out
Be the best you can
Rain hit the old dog in the
Twilight's last gleaming
He said Son it sounds
Like rattling old bones
This highway is long but
I know some that are longer
By sun up tomorrow I guess
I'll be home
The hills of Kentucky 'cross
The Ohio river
The old man kept talking 'bout
His life and his times
He fell asleep with his head
Against the window
He said an honest man's pillow
Is his peace of mind
This world offers riches
And riches will grow wings
And I don't take stock in
Those uncertain things
Days turn to minutes
And minutes to memories
Life sweeps away the dreams
We have planned
You are young and
You are the future
Suck it up and tough it out
Be the best you can
The old man had a vision
It was hard for me to follow
I do things my way pay
An awfully high price
When I think back on the
Old man and the bus ride
Now that I'm older
I can see he was right
Another hot one out
On highway eleven
This is my life it's what
I've chosen to do
There's no free rides and
No one said it'd be easy
The old man told me this my son
I'm telling it to you
Days turn to minutes
And minutes to memories
Life sweep away the dreams
We have planned
You are young
And you are the future
Suck it up and tough it out
Be the best you can
