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
