Thank you for the things you said
For not joining me out on the ledge
I know where you come from
That's just not done
And thank you for the diamond ring
The baby boy and the world on a string
I feel glad to honor
The thousand acts of love
Don't miss living so much faster
I'll take care of your Telecaster
You might miss the way I keep the beat
Time keeps slipping through the curtain
From this point on there's nothing certain
Except there's not many miles to go
And just one promise left to keep
I sang my heart out for the crowd
Asked forgiveness from them then and now
You know where I come from
That's how it's done
I stood beside you through the blast
I thought we might never last
Now look how we shine, my dear
Like diamonds in the sun
Standing clock and twelve bar disasters
Transformed by your Telecaster
We found another way to keep the beat
Time keeps slipping through the curtain
With the Empire State and small batch bourbon
Now there's not many miles to go
And just one promise left to keep
I don't miss living so much faster
I'll take care of your Telecaster
You might miss the way I keep the beat
Time keeps slipping through the curtain
From this point on there's one thing certain
There's not many miles to go
And just one promise left to keep
There's not many miles to go
And just one promise left to keep
