Where did all the Time go?
The rhythm of life
Drinking from a fire hose
Or dying of thirst
Where has all the time gone
Memories of adventures taken fill my thoughts
As I lie in my bed at 2pm on a Wednesday
Both seem to bring me equal pleasure
Ive done what I wanted when I wanted
Im doing it now
It just happiness to be Nothing
I could never just have two drinks
I always pushed every limit
Never told what to do
Never controlled
Don’t care about money
Just the freedom it brings
I like bringing everyone I love to do the things that make me smile
To experience these things with me
But
Im not hunting anymore
Simply Satisfied to gather these days
I don’t feel old or tired
But I know I am
Regret doesn’t get to live in me
Ive never reconsidered anything Ive done
Good or bad
Learn from it and move on
I always live Now
Never let yesterday or tomorrow sway me
But I remember everything that’s happened
That always shapes my next move
I treat people 10x the way they treated me
Good or bad
I don’t choose how I treat you
You do
I live in
If - Then
I dont think about how much Time I’m wasting away
Then I consider how much time I burned up doing everything
Its not wasted if its the way I want to spend it
At least I was never all hat no cattle
Ive always talked a big game
But you better check the scorecard ol son
I am what I say I am
I do what I say Ill Do
Ive had the glitz the glamour
The Lights the Ladies
Ive had all my money on a table
Ive lost it all more than once
I still live the way I like in the World Ive created
Where has all the Time Gone
Ive never been on a business trip
Ive traveled a lot for work but every trip is for me
every moment is about a goal I set for myself
Even in business
I am achieving something
Ive heard crowds scream for me
Ive had an airplane join me in song
Ive stopped everyone near me from saying a word
Ive had the room in tears
Ive made people laugh so hard they pee a little
Ive pulled off insane bar tricks
Ive thrown a dart to kiss a girl and hit a bullseye with both
Ive had crazy nights and Ive been front row too many times to count
Ive sat in the nosebleeds too
But those seats were a gift
Ive driven the fastest cars with a Rolex on
And a Queen in the passenger seat
Ive gone 164 down the devils backbone
Ive had great Dogs
A few lazy ones I loved even more
Ive never come up short
For 5’8 Im a Giant
Ive never lost when my back was against the wall
Ive done enough to take my time and rest now
But I still don’t know
Where all the time has gone though
Ive shot my guns in the air
Ive fought men bigger than me
Ive killed an animal with my knife and hands
Ive sired three girls and boy
Ive hit every shot a time or two
Ive played hopscotch for money
Ive caught the biggest fish
Ive touched the top of every list I wanted to be on
And a few I didn’t
Ive had sex in public a few times
Ive bought coke in foreign places
Ive had more orgasms than I could ever count
Rarely self produced
Ive bought and sold more in this world than any car lot
I know the valleys
I look down on them from the peaks
I’ve crossed one or two
Ive been broken
But never a bone
Ive been on fire
Ive put out a few too
Ive covered a lot of ground
Ive played from the Tips
Ive hit from the rough
Ive sunk puts from the fringes
Its still not enough
I still don’t know where all the time has gone
I remember thinking so highly of older folks as a child
They didn’t all deserve my respect that’s for sure
as a grown man
when I see children
I don’t feel that far away
There isn’t a huge gap between us
My son and I are 38 years apart but feel like best friends
And he understands everything I’m talking about
Age doesn’t make you anything other than an older you
I know a lot of old idiots
And young savants
‘I thought things would be better
And they were
I believed I could do anything
And I did
I never took my time
I never chased
I walk into the room like God sent me
Because he did
I live in my room
I live in my Bed
I eat here
Write here
Sleep here
I get up for the kids
But I’ve relaxed my life
I’ve slowed the process
I rest and rest and still wonder
Where has all the time gone?
