This heartfelt modern country ballad is a reminder that time waits for no one — and neither does love. With vivid imagery of porch lights flickering on County Road 9, dusty swings, and rusted Pontiacs, the song tells the story of missed chances, family ties, and the weight of words left unsaid. Blending acoustic warmth, slide guitar, and the grit of outlaw country, it’s a powerful anthem for anyone who’s ever put off what matters most. From empty voicemails to packed suitcases by the stairs, this track captures the struggle between chasing dreams and holding on to the people who matter. It’s a call to live loud, speak true, and build your world with your hands and faith before the moment slips away. Perfect for fans of Americana, country rock, and storytelling country music, this song is for the ones who know that yesterday can’t be reclaimed — but today’s still yours.

00:00There's a porch light flickering on County Road 9
00:17Dust on the swing where I kissed her that night
00:21Daddy's old rod leans on the garage wall
00:24Been saying we'll go fishing every fall
00:28Mama left five voicemails last Sunday
00:32Said son you okay, I said you just been running late
00:36But I ain't moved in weeks
00:38Just stuck in my head chasing dreams that ain't caught me
00:42And that old Pontiac's been sitting still
00:48Rust on the chrome but it's got wheels
00:52Granddad's breathing heavy but he won't say
00:57He's running out of time each day
01:00Life don't wait on a better time
01:06A break in the clouds or a neon sign
01:10Love don't knock twice the same old way
01:13You gotta speak your heart, not just pray
01:17Cause the road keeps rolling, wind won't stay
01:20And you don't get back yesterday
01:23So I'm holding on tight
01:26Come what may, gonna live loud
01:29Before the moment slips away
01:33She packed a suitcase, left it by the stairs
01:42Said I love you but you're never there
01:45All those one days I let slide by
01:49Like fireflies blinking out of the sky
01:52Granddad's tools laid out in the shed
01:56I swear I still hear the things he said
01:59Son don't wait on the world to change
02:03Build your own with your hands in faith
02:06Life don't wait on a better time
02:10A break in the clouds or a neon sign
02:13Love don't knock twice the same old way
02:17You gotta speak your heart, not just pray
02:20Cause the road keeps rolling, wind won't stay
02:24And you don't get back yesterday
02:27So I'm holding on tight
02:29Come what may, gonna live loud
02:33Before the moment slips away
02:36Before the moment slips away
02:44Life don't wait on a better time
02:52A break in the clouds or a neon sign
02:56Love don't knock twice the same old way
02:59You gotta speak your heart, not just pray
03:03Cause the road keeps rolling, wind won't stay
03:06And you don't get back yesterday
03:09So I'm holding on tight

03:15Before the moment slips away
03:19You and when I come home
03:24I don't look away
03:26Remember have to go
03:26From your spirit to heaven
03:27anger
03:27And you don't get back
03:28You look back
03:29That you're all
