High Valley - While The Gettin's Good lyrics

He said I woke up and I was twenty five With a job I didn't want, but I guess it got us by Got married young, had a son in a house in the town I grew up in And that's just the way it was Not even close to how I planned it Didn't know how good we had it I ain't telling you how to live your life You don't have to take this old man's advice But you better get it while the gettin's good There's gonna come a day you wish you would Have been in the stands on a Friday night When your kid scores a touchdown beneath those lights And the first thing he does is look up to find you there And you're there, get it while the gettin's good Words sure can hit you hard when they get said From a shell of a man looking at you man in a hospital bed But tears well up in a loved one's eyes And you're holding yours back and you start thinking twice About everything, everything he said to me And he said... Better get it while the gettin's good There's gonna come a day you wish you would Have been more in the moment with the one you love On a Sunday morning when she wakes up And the first thing you do is thank God that she's there Cause you're there, get it while the gettin's good So we buried my dad on the 12th of December And I'll never forget what he said to remember Moments slip like sand through your hands When you're gone, you can't get 'em back again Better get it while the gettin's good There's gonna come a day you wish you would Have spent a little more time with your mom when I'm gone She's gonna need you son, she's gonna be alone And I feel better just knowing that you're there Cause I can't be there Love is all that matters in the end Get it while the gettin's good Oh, get it while the gettin's good
