Fight the Break of Day
Words and Music by Derek f Smith
CHORUS
But time is like a mist
And years pass by too quick
So many things I missed
Trying to buy a life
The treasure that I didn't see
Was always there in front of me
Now twelve more days are calling as I
Fight the break of day
Verse 3
It's time for change, a simpler life
To make my gorgeous girl, my wife
Her ombré hair and sparkling eyes
No better way to spend my time
Now I'm the richest man I know
My heart has its forever home
A lesson learned the hard way
While building roads to homes
CHORUS
'Cause time is like a mist
And years pass by too quick
So many things I missed
Trying to buy a life
The treasure that I didn't see
Was always there in front of me
Her silhouette there next to me as I
Fight the break of day
Verse 1
They told us boys there's been flood
We need some men to move the mud
To drive the trucks and fix the roads
And help these folks rebuild their homes
Said this could end your loosing streak
We'll pay ya all the cash you seek
Two days at home every other week
Seemed like a good idea
CHORUS
But time is like a mist
And years pass by too quick
So many things I missed
Trying to buy a life
The treasure that I didn't see
Was always there in front of me
Now twelve more days are calling as I
Fight the break of day
Verse 2
Three years have come and gone too fast
Drive in - Drive Out while life swept past
So many things I didn't see
My growing boys, my family
Building roads, connecting homes
But all the while neglect my own
Forgot there's things gold can't buy
We can't turn back the hands of time.
