Dean Brody - Time Lyrics
A gang of kids on their peddle bikes
In a dusty town, way to ride
To the general store for popeye cigarettes
Class of '99
Yeah we lived, laughed, loved and cried
Living like that yearbook picture wouldn't fade
And some standing right beside me, I might never see again
The trouble is
You think you have time
You think tomorrows always coming down the line
And then one day
You wake up and you find
The trouble is you thought you had time
Big old house, two car garage
He works hard for his wife and his son
An empty seat at t-ball games
Just a sacrifice he'll make
Make it up, next weekend comes along
Years go by and that day comes too soon
That boy goes off to college, he stands in his empty room
The trouble is
You think you have time
You think tomorrows always coming down the line
And then one day
You wake up and you find
The trouble is you thought you had time
Shotgun shells and a tackle box
On the floorboard of a truck
Morning sun burning fog off a lake
Teenage girl and her grandad
He takes her fishing but he feels bad
She can't take her eyes off that Facebook page
But someday soon, who knows how long
She'll look up from that phone and he'll be gone
The trouble is
You think you have time
You think tomorrows always coming down the line
And then one day
You wake up and you find
The trouble is you thought you had time
The trouble is you thought you had time

Dean Brody Time Comments
Millennials don’t get it!
I have "you think you have time" tattooed on my arm as a reminder.
Call your mom.
I would if I could. She's currently in my brother's coat closet in a small urn. But, I've got a great pic of her near Dawson City in the Yukon. My brother and I are panning for gold. Mum's having nothing to do with the small gold chips, she's looking for the big nuggets next to us.
Tears every time I hear this song so true Florette
Really makes you stop and think
Time is fleeting and people you love are precious. Use the time that you are given to be with the ones you love before it's too late... and there is no more time...
This beautiful and meaningful song is proof of what a BRILLIANT songwriter you really are Dean. You have a way of tugging at people’s heartstrings with songs like this. But you also have love songs and songs that are fun and great to dance to as well, songs that just about anybody can relate to. You have a God- given talent for sure. I Love your voice too and am a FAN for life!!❤️
I'll do anything to spend more time with my grandfather, really can't believe he is gone it's been to weeks and I still can't believe he is gone well he ain't really gone he is in my heart it's just sad how you think you have alot of time with someone then they are gone in a heartbeat.
beatiful song. this guy sings a lot, real country. no fu....ing dislikes. ah ah
This makes me want to go back to the days before cell phones even existed. I loved those times!
Saw him do this live last week... hoooooly shit is this guy good...
Cannot believe this doesn't have more views.
This song reminds me of me I all ways spend a lot of time on my iPad then hanging out with my family

this is amazing. i watched you at a concert today and it inspired me so much😭😭❤️❤️
TIME the one and only thing in are lives that I wish I could get back! But that is history so moving forward with this life we change the future for the best!!! But all history is memories and pictures! The pictures we have are worth a 1000 words:)
You always wish you had more time to spend with your grandparents or parents
No one promised tomorrow. Better get things straight with GOD before it's to late 🙏
Every word is true
Just woke my kids up and told them a story. Thank you
Here because of video from My Self Reliance...
This is a great song... real !
yes!!!!!!!!
Literally the best DB song ever and the number of views is a perfect testament to the pathetic state of humanity today.
DB - please have mercy on those of us who are left and dump your heart into more songs exactly like this. I play this regularly and impress upon those I care about the gravity of the reality you present with this song.
I promise... we are out here. The silent majority if you will. We are here.... please man.... please...
Great song Dean, meaningful lyrics, love your songs Dean.
YOU FUCKING BASTARDS ARE NOT THAT FUNNY NOW ARE YOU YOU WILL NEVER CHASE ME FROM ANYWHERE AND IF YOU FUCK WITH ME GO FOR IT LETS SEE WHO THE STUPID ONE REALLY IS YOU DON'T HAVE THE BALLS FOR IT GET A FUCKING WOMAN TO DO YOUR DIRTY WORK WELL YOUR STUPID WORK HA HA HA HA HA AND YOUR WAITING FOR ME TO GET HIGH DON'T FUCKING HOLD YOUR BREATH
This song ranks among my top 20 , very powerful. I try to tell people life is in the living of it and no matter where you go there you are. This song is fantastic.
I know this all too well. Thought I had lots of time left with my brother. He was only 36. Lost him Thanksgiving 2017. Was working so much I missed making memories. We all think we have time. But you never know when that time could be up. Cherish every memory and every Moment. Because you can never get them back.
First time I heard this song I loved it because time is very precious . My dad had been ill since 2018 and I would take every opportunity to visit him which was unfortunately not often enough. I listened to this song on the afternoon of February 21st 2019 and received a phone call 3 hours later that he had passed away. The plan is to play this song at his memorial service in June. In the meantime I'll keep listening because it helps me remember that there are others that I love I have limited time with. Thank you Dean for writing a song.
what a beautiful song 🙏🏼
I'm gonna go call my grandma. I'd give anything to see my grandfather again. Fucking song, now I got a tear on my phone.
I love this song you don't know when some one is going pass away everyone u better go see your family before they pass away
So true! It seems like 15 yrs. ago my son was 15. He is now 30 yrs. old!
I'm in my mid 60's and this song is so true ,never delay seeing some one you love,because your time will go quick. My mother said "don't wish to be older it will come quick.Love your loved ones like there is no tomorrow.They could be gone.the next day.God Bless you all. djb
I love this song ,Time it's so good. 😊❤ I love Dean Brody
Why is this song so sad?
🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Just the best written song ever!!! ..& a talented artist to boot!
Bet this Brody guy is the worst on his phone ever!
M...................
Good song
So about a year ago I heard this song on the radio and it really hit me. Next week will be a year since the day my dad found out he was diagnosed with cancer. Yesterday was his birthday. Thankfully he beat it and we were able to celebrate his birthday. Live for what you have today because tomorrow is not a definite. Thanks Dean!!
3:05 makes me cry everytime
Canadian country? Yep that's basically my daughter's life. We need more songs like this especially those days 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
This one speaks volumes
This came out right as I had lost my grandmother... then the following year my dad saw a co worker die in front of him and two days later my friend had drowned this song helped so much mostly to help me cry so my heart could somehow heal
Someone dear to be told me about this wonderful song that reflected how I was feeling at that time, my mother had just died of cancer and being a "momma's boy" it hit me a lot harder than even I expected. It was this song and it brought to light the simple truth, I knew with her cancer she was going to die one day but never thought it would be that day. Dean you probably never read these comments but thank you. For summing up what I was feeling and thinking and making it solid so now I can play this song and all the memories I was remembering of her when she was alive flood back, yes with the pain also, but thats a fair trade off.
they played this song at hi funeral he was 21
i miss my cousin he died may 5 2018
A classic Pink Floyd cover.
Inspiring ♥️. This song would make me think and come around with some time for myself rather than social medias.
Tears ran down my cheeks.... Lovely song. Truth inside the song makes sad.
🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁 great song... I’ve lost so many people in my life... when I was a kid my mum would say ‘life is short’ yeah yeah... but it is... so precious so quick... eat that donut, buy that new couch...
Yo your a gr8 band!! #eminem
This was played at my sons Class night last night. I was doing fine until it got to that last verse. Suddenly my mind was flooded with memories of loved ones I have lost and the thoughts that I hadn’t done enough for my kids in their lives. I’ve lost my grandpa, my dad, my oldest brother and my brother next to me that was so close to me. I miss them ALL SO VERY MUCH! My son is graduating Thursday and I’m so VERY proud of him! This song touched me, and I don’t listen to country, only gospel, but still it’s meaning touched my heart. Thanks Dean Brody from another Dean.
This song makes me cry u great dean I wish I more time with my grandpa and great grandma 😭😔😞😢I wish I had the time
As they say, the days sometimes drag by, but the years fly by. I sent this song to 4 friends and family members who have cut-off their parents. Not just for a few days, but for years!! I savour every minute I get to spend with my 91 year old Dad.
This was my uncles favorite song he died in an accident on January fourth 2018 it was my brothers birthday I listen to this song when I’m sad
such a great song
0:29 Is this a music vid... Oh yeah it is
Good stuff!!! Great message!!!

Wow, nice job Dean, you have a point. You think you have time. You don't. I took for granted my Great Uncle wouldn't die any time soon but he's dead.
In love this song
When I hear this I look at my kids and think about how 30 years from now I'm gonna be saying the exact same thing. Most of the people who died today thought that they were gonna be here tomorrow. Love everyone and everything as much as you can.
This is a great video.
This song is really inspiring
85 People have no soul.
such a thought provoking song
good ole country music ............very nice
Great song BC proud
Love this song
Miss you papa wish you were still here
this song stopped me in my tracks and tears flowed. Magic is what you Dean have put into words, my wish is that all people listen and listen well. How quick we just take life for granted!! Thank you for enlightening me and opening my heart and soul to this great life .. greatest gift!!
Great job Dean.
Im 14 but i appreciate what i got and i still have my grandperants and im going to comprehend what i still got and spend as much time as i can with them before their gone
What a beautiful song. So touchy, brings tears to the eyes.
This song speaks so much truth about the way the world is. Time is never promised...use it wisely. Spend it with the people you love most.
