I couldn't help but think back to the advice

That I got from my dad a few times

He said"...time goes by so fast in a blink of an eye

So never close your eyes..."

"...i always wanted something more than 50 hours every week

And a paid vacation on the jersey shoreline"

And he said

So when ambition turns into competition

I'll never be the better man

I can't help but think back to the time

He said "life goes right by"

And told me never think twice

"you can't second guess how to live your life"

All these years have been way too short

To be spent on some factory floor like me

I never went back again

I never looked back again

And he said

So when ambition turns into competition

I'll never be the better man

It's the last hour of the last day

Don't fall so far behind now

You'll be another nameless face

He said
