[00:15.94]I packed up my pick-up at 17
[00:19.34]With uncle Bob's old Martin guitar and a dream
[00:23.27]Went from singin' in church
[00:27.04]To singin' for tips in a honky tonk
[00:28.93]
[00:31.30]Till I became a jukebox flash
[00:33.96]Play anything from Zeppelin to Cash
[00:38.04]As a hard headed hard livin'
[00:40.29]Cover singin' cover of my own self
[00:45.32]Forgot who I was and where I was from
[00:49.52]Then early one morning my daddy showed up
[00:52.57]
[00:55.22]Lifelines
[00:56.93]Where would we be without lifelines
[01:00.38]When we're lost at sea
[01:02.04]The devil's got you thinking
[01:04.06]That the boat ain't sinking
[01:05.97]But you're boots are getting wet
[01:08.67]That's the thing about lifelines
[01:11.64]They tell you the truth
[01:13.58]When you won't reach you have to get a hold of you
[01:17.33]You're lucky to find a few in your lifetime
[01:23.57]Thank God for lifelines
[01:26.85]
[01:28.27]These days I come home
[01:30.03]Every Sunday afternoon
[01:32.17]Mama always says "I was just thinking about you
[01:35.68]How's my favorite son?"
[01:37.25]"Say, you mean your only one?
[01:39.13]Oh I'm good, almost as good as your gravy"
[01:43.04]She said, "Your sister stops by with her kids everyday
[01:47.00]But the horse has been tough
[01:48.82]They're gonna be OK
[01:50.79]Your daddy keeps them busy watching Barbers on the Water
[01:54.33]Let some castor cares away"
[01:57.44]She said, "Son I know you gotta make money
[01:59.76]But don't forget to make time
[02:01.56]To slow down and stop by
[02:03.93]Have a real piece of pie, here"
[02:05.36]
[02:07.77]Lifelines
[02:09.36]Where would we be without lifelines
[02:12.86]When we're lost at sea
[02:14.58]The devil's got you thinking
[02:16.91]That the boat ain't sinking
[02:18.61]But you're boots are getting wet
[02:21.23]That's the thing about lifelines
[02:24.09]They tell you the truth
[02:26.01]When you won't reach you have to get a hold of you
[02:29.46]You're lucky to find a few in your lifetime
[02:35.97]So thank God for lifelines
[02:38.81]
[02:39.43]Where would we be without lifelines
[02:42.91]When we're lost at sea
[02:44.83]The devil's got you thinking
[02:46.35]That the boat ain't sinking
[02:48.34]But you're boots are sure getting wet
[02:50.88]That's the thing about lifelines
[02:53.93]They tell you the truth
[02:55.80]When you won't reach you have to get a hold of you
[02:59.26]You're lucky to find a few in your lifetime
[03:05.73]So thank God for lifelines
[03:17.06]Thank God for lifelines
[03:22.81]
