Father Time - SOLO Version

by Jessica Leia

/

about

“Father Time” sings out something like an old Jim Croce song, as Jessica Leia picks up her acoustic guitar and sings about the passage of time and how it makes her feel just fine. With an upbeat tempo strummed on 6 strings, combined with knock ‘em out vocals, Jessica enthusiastically performs the song solo. She will leave you feeling fully energized with this happy tune as if she’d sung it with a full band rockin’ out behind her!

lyrics

Verse1
Got up at six AM this mornin'. Warmed my engine for a time.
This 4-door's barely runnin', but it's mine.

Verse2
Becky's passed out in the backseat. She's been sleeping there since five.
But by the time my shift is over, she'll be fine.

Pre-Chorus
And last night's double vision, it's still messin' with my eyes.
And as I fight to keep them open, I realize

Chorus
That I feel fine. I'm just shakin' hands with Father Time.
Hey I'm here alive, until the day that I die.

Verse3
And this job ain't makin' me much money, but there ain't much I wanna buy.
At least I know come payday, that check is mine.

Pre-Chorus2
And anyway, I ain't too worried if I'm countin' dollars or countin' dimes.
About the only thing on count on are good times.

Chorus
And that's why I feel fine. Just shakin' hands with Father Time.
Hey I'm here alive until the day that I die

Bridge
And sometimes it's hard to understand
that there's no start and there's no end to this piece of borrowed time.
That it don't matter where I been or if I go back there again 'cause there's no finish line.

Pre-Chorus3
‘Cause I've only got one destination and each day it looks me in the eye.
And I could choose to keep on running but I think I will take my time.

End
And that makes me feel fine. I feel fine. I feel fine. I feel fine.

Hey I feel fine. Just shakin' hands with Father Time.
Yeah I'm here alive, until the day that I die
