[00:00:00] Minutes To Memories - John Mellencamp

[00:00:01] Written by：John Mellencamp/George Michael Green

[00:00:17] On a Greyhound thirty miles

[00:00:19] Beyond Jamestown

[00:00:21] He saw the sun set on

[00:00:22] The Tennessee line

[00:00:25] Looked at the young man who

[00:00:26] Was riding beside him

[00:00:29] He said I'm old kind of

[00:00:31] Worn out inside

[00:00:33] I worked my whole life in the

[00:00:35] Steel mills near Gary

[00:00:37] My father before me

[00:00:38] I helped build this land

[00:00:41] Now seventy seven and with

[00:00:43] God as my witness

[00:00:45] I earned every dollar that

[00:00:46] Passed through my hands

[00:00:49] My family and friends are

[00:00:51] The best things I've known

[00:00:53] Through the eye of the needle

[00:00:54] I'll carry them home

[00:00:57] Days turn to minutes

[00:00:58] And minutes to memories

[00:01:01] Life sweeps away the dreams

[00:01:03] We have planned

[00:01:05] You are young and

[00:01:07] You are the future

[00:01:08] Suck it up and tough it out

[00:01:11] Be the best you can

[00:01:21] Rain hit the old dog in the

[00:01:23] Twilight's last gleaming

[00:01:25] He said Son it sounds

[00:01:27] Like rattling old bones

[00:01:29] This highway is long but

[00:01:31] I know some that are longer

[00:01:33] By sun up tomorrow I guess

[00:01:35] I'll be home

[00:01:37] The hills of Kentucky 'cross

[00:01:39] The Ohio river

[00:01:41] The old man kept talking 'bout

[00:01:43] His life and his times

[00:01:45] He fell asleep with his head

[00:01:48] Against the window

[00:01:49] He said an honest man's pillow

[00:01:51] Is his peace of mind

[00:01:53] This world offers riches

[00:01:55] And riches will grow wings

[00:01:57] And I don't take stock in

[00:01:59] Those uncertain things

[00:02:02] Days turn to minutes

[00:02:03] And minutes to memories

[00:02:06] Life sweeps away the dreams

[00:02:07] We have planned

[00:02:10] You are young and

[00:02:11] You are the future

[00:02:13] Suck it up and tough it out

[00:02:15] Be the best you can

[00:02:50] The old man had a vision

[00:02:52] It was hard for me to follow

[00:02:54] I do things my way pay

[00:02:55] An awfully high price

[00:02:58] When I think back on the

[00:02:59] Old man and the bus ride

[00:03:02] Now that I'm older

[00:03:03] I can see he was right

[00:03:10] Another hot one out

[00:03:12] On highway eleven

[00:03:14] This is my life it's what

[00:03:16] I've chosen to do

[00:03:18] There's no free rides and

[00:03:19] No one said it'd be easy

[00:03:22] The old man told me this my son

[00:03:23] I'm telling it to you

[00:03:26] Days turn to minutes

[00:03:27] And minutes to memories

[00:03:30] Life sweep away the dreams

[00:03:31] We have planned

[00:03:34] You are young

[00:03:35] And you are the future

[00:03:37] Suck it up and tough it out

[00:03:40] Be the best you can
