Scotty McCreery - The Dash Lyrics






Whole town showed up
Gymnasium filled
Floor was wet
From all the tears spilled
And the preacher man said
We're all gathered today
And I'll never forget
What he had to say

[Chorus]
It's always too soon
It's always too fast
There'll never come a day
That you don't want 'em back
It ain't about the numbers
Chiseled in concrete
It's how they lived their lives
In the dash between
In the dash between

He was a steelworker's son
Homecoming king
He trained day and night
For that championship ring
He found him a girl
Made her his queen
And he fought for his country
And he gave it everything

[Chorus]
It's always too soon
It's always too fast
There'll never come a day
That you don't want 'em back
It ain't about the numbers
Chiseled in concrete
It's how they lived their lives
In the dash between
In the dash between

Their first breath and their last
Marks all the memories of the past
That little black line defines a legacy

It's always too soon
It's always too fast
They're always too young
It's always so sad
It ain't about the numbers
Chiseled in concrete
It's how they lived their lives
In the dash between
In the dash between
In the dash between

    @Shane Peter Tell your husband Thank you for your service for me.

    S.... S....

    Just remember this. Your husband has answered a call that very few men can. Its who he is, and that's who you married, and why you married him. Be there for him when he gets home, and If something does happen, we'll be there for you. I may not be physical able to serve anymore, but I will do anything I can for the family of another soldier. All of us will.

    Back in 2011, I dated a girl she was 19 I was 22, We dated all summer then school came around and kinda got too busy for each other, come that december just 4 months after we had dated she was in a horrible car accident and lost her life, one of the hardest funerals I've ever been too, little did I know I had an angel in my arms.
