Lifetime

I called my mama yesterday
 To wish her happy birthday
 She said,? Baby, your mama's getting old
 And I'm damn glad to be alive today?
 She said,? I'm 10 years cancer free
 And I thank the good Lord everyday
 But Marie, she's got it bad
 And honey, Patsy's passed away?
 She said a lifetime ain't no time at all
 She said a lifetime ain't no time at all
 ♪
 I listened to my mama's voice
 And I felt a chill pass right through
 'Cos I've seen the virus take the boys
 And I've watched my friends get sick too
 We talked about how Michael died
 With his friends around him everyday
 How we all took turns by his side
 How we helped him disappear that way
 I know a lifetime ain't no time at all
 I know a lifetime ain't no time at all
 ♪
 Mama said,? Ain't we a mess?
 Child, we're full of life and scared of death
 It must be hell to watch your friends die young
 But getting old now, there's some fun?
 You know, life'd mean nothing if we didn't die
 Laughter, empty, if we didn't cry
 It's all the way it's supposed to be
 But it moves fast and it's hard to see
 'Cos a lifetime ain't no time at all
 Yes, a lifetime ain't no time at all
 A lifetime ain't no time at all
 A lifetime ain't no time at all
