I used to waste my time
Worried 'bout everything
Did I have enough money?
Was she gonna leave?
Was I driving the right truck?
Was my house big enough?
Did my friends like me
For who I really was?
When I can't figure out what the answer is
I take a minute to look down at my wrist
I stare at my daddy's old broken watch
To remind me that right now
Is all the time I've got
After Daddy passed
I kept his watch on my desk
One day without thinking
I slipped it on my wrist
It didn't work
It was out of style
But I loved the way it fit
It felt like he was teaching me
A lesson that I'd missed
When I can't figure out what the answer is
I take a minute to look down at my wrist
I stare at my daddy's old broken watch
To remind me that right now
Is all the time I've got
It has a wide silver band
With a large white face
And even though it's broken
I wear it every day
It ticked along all those years
Right next to his skin
Wearing it makes me feel
Like I'm close to him again
When I can't figure out what the answer is
I take a minute to look down at my wrist
I stare at my daddy's old broken watch
To remind me that right now
Is all the time I've got
