You Know It’s Coming

Lyrics

[Verse 1] From the moment a man paints his guest room pink He can't help but think About the reason I'm cleaning this gun tonight Sitting here on the front porch swing Waiting on a shined-up Chevy emblem To show up in my driveway I've been dreading this for sixteen years Three months and a couple of days [Chorus] Even though you know it's coming Like a freight train humming from a mile away You think you'll be ready With life's lead foot leaning on the clutch and off the brakes 'Til what's down the line ain't down the line no more That's how time does it You just crack a beer 'cause someday's herе And dang if you can't do nothing Even though you know it's coming [Verse 2] You figure the man that taught you how to fish Is madе of steel and bricks It's just strangers' and a few good buddies' Grandpas that wind up sick And then one day, you're wearing all black Crushed behind a Cadillac [Chorus] Even though you know it's coming Like a freight train humming from a mile away You think you'll be ready With life's lead foot leaning on the clutch and off the brakes 'Til what's down the line ain't down the line no more That's how time does it You just crack a beer 'cause someday's here And dang if you can't do nothing Even though you know it's coming [Bridge] As sure as Pawpaws pass on And baby girls grow up Can't even think about the day What the preacher's gonna say The rice, the tie, the tux [Chorus] Even though you know what's coming Like a freight train humming from a mile away You think you'll be ready Life's lead foot leaning on the clutch and off the brakes 'Til what's down the line ain't down the line no more That's how time does it You just crack a beer 'cause someday's here And dang if you can't do nothing Even though you know it's coming [Outro] Yeah, even though you know it's coming Mm
