Scotty McCreery - Five More Minutes Lyrics






Eight years old a couple cane poles sitting down by the creek
Our lines in the water watching those bobbers seeing that red sun sink
Mama's on the porch yelling supper's hot, y'all come and get it
We yelled five more minutes.

At sixteen it was twelve o three standing at her front door
Katie's dad said midnight, but we needed just a little more
Yellow light flipping on and off, interrupting that goodnight kissing,
We wanted five more minutes

Time rolls by the clock don't stop
I wish I had a few more drops
Of the good stuff, the good times
Oh but they just keep on flying
Right on by like it ain't nothing
Wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
And give myself five more minutes

At eighteen turned my helmet in and walked to the fifty yard line
Just the coach and me after we lost state ten to nine
And I cried man next time to get in here I'll have to buy a ticket
Can't you give me five more minutes

Time rolls by the clock don't stop
I wish I had a few more drops
Of the good stuff, the good times
Oh but they just keep on flying
Right on by like it ain't nothing
Wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
And give myself five more minutes

At eighty-six my grandpa said there's angels in the room
All the family gathered 'round knew the time was coming soon
With so much left to say I prayed Lord I ain't finished
Just give us five more minutes

Time rolls by the clock don't stop
I wish I had a few more drops
Of the good stuff, the good times
Oh but they just keep on flying
Right on by like it ain't nothing
Wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
Yeah sometimes this old life will leave you wishing
That you had five more minutes

Five more minutes

Scotty McCreery Five More Minutes Comments
  1. W.... G....

    Here in 2019 ❤️

  2. V.... ....

    Yesterday I finished my last semester at my first college (one more to go), and after nearly three years here I’m finally very happy with where I’m going. But truthfully something just hasn’t felt right about leaving all my friends. I just want five more minutes of this

  3. E.... N....

    I wish I had five more minutes with my friend angelo😢

  4. P.... C....

    Mom died ten years ago today, I wish for five more minutes

  5. M.... F....

    This song changed me...


    When I was like 7, my dad showed me this song...
    I'm like.... Wow.... I started crying so hard... I wish I had 5 more minutes with my Aunt. She died 11 months ago, and I cared about her forever. Just because she died doesn't mean she doesn't mean the world to me. This song means a lot to me, and my life. I cry every time I hear this. Its so hard not to. In computer class tomorrow, I will try not to cry during class but its so hard not to when I hear this. It reminds me of everything I've been through. This song means a LOT to me and I cant stop listening to it, I want the radio to explain this song and its sad meaning. Scotty probably made this song because of his grandpas deaths. In the beginning, did anyone notice at time 0:02 it said "For my grandfathers"? That part made me heartbroken. Stay strong for anyone in your family going through this. ;/ Love yall, make sure to like this is your family and this song mean everything to you...

    My old preacher, Brother Danny, was my closest friend, a long time ago. He came to my church back in 2010, a long time ago. I was 7 when my parents divorced and he helped me through it, back in 2013, a long time ago. He baptized me in 2016, a long time ago. Our friendship was cut to short, when he tragically died in a car crash on July 5, 2018, a long time ago. All though it was a long time ago, his memory still lives on in my mind. As one of his country bands, The Highwaymen, would say in their song, “American Remains”. “We will not be forgotten, we won’t be forgotten, our memories live on in mortal minds, and poets pens, and we’ll ride again.” That was a long time ago, but I remember it and it lives on in my mortal mind. Rest In Peace Brother Danny. I love you buddy........

  61. S.... E....

    It takes more than a great voice to be a Country singer. Scotty McCreery, you are a great song writer and storyteller. Your voice and face give away your love and emotions. Great fame shouldn’t be the goal. Using your God-given talent to bless others is what you’re good at. I love your heart.

  62. E.... V....

    I would love to have five more minutes with my doggy or my uncle less

  63. B.... J....

    There are so many times in my life where I wish I'd had 5 more minutes or a pause button. This video does a "hit home" version of those times. How those minutes change from when we were children to now that were adults. This young artist knows what "the good stuff" is!
