Trust me friend a hundred years
Goes faster than you think, so don’t blink
Written by Casey Beathard and Chris Wallin, that’s the refrain for country music star Kenny Chesney’s poignant hit song, “Don’t Blink.” The ballad tells of a 102-year-old man celebrating his birthday on television, who when asked the secret of life, says:
Don’t blink, cause just like that you’re 6 years old
And you take a nap
And you wake up and you’re 25
And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife.
Don’t blink, you just might miss
Your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads
Next thing you know your better half…
