Past Is Practice - Bubba Sparxxx, JJ Lawhorn

He said you got it all wrong

You gotta move on

You can’t keep singing that dad old song

You have to fight the urge to reminisce

You can push rewind in your mind

It ain’t nothing but a waste of time

Today’s the day to get past this

Cuz the Past is Practice

Another long night down in G A

Watching my whole life replay

Under my eyelids

Everything I did still rides with me these days

How could I let her love go

How could I let my life get

This out of hand

I’m talking about the man

That sits here right where I sit

I was reasoned on

deep southern values

Life treats you just like how you

treat life

you better think twice

but if you blink twice

it goes on without you

I’m stuck here living in circles

Somehow I gotta turn to a straight line

I know anything worth having takes time

But if patience is a virtue, it ain’t mine

I ain’t never been concerned with tomorrow

But yesterday visits me nightly

At the bottom of a glass

Just waiting on my ass

To tell me again what might be

Had I cut it out sooner

Or had I held on longer

Then I hear a voice in my ear so clear

The Past is Practice it only makes you stronger

He said you got it all wrong

You gotta move on

You can’t keep singing that dad old song

You have to fight the urge to reminisce

You can push rewind in your mind

It ain’t nothing but a waste of time

Today’s the day to get past this

Cuz the Past is Practice

I see now the blessings the lesson

What’s that saying

What’s that expression

The past is history

The futures a mystery

Today’s a gift

That’s why it’s called the present

I know that sounds so good

When you’re saying it to someone else

But when it’s your turn

When your heart hurts

It really ain’t a whole lot of help

But it’s like my pops says

Everybody’s got regrets I guess

Try as you might

Cry and fight it

It ain’t gonna change it

So why stress

But we can change tomorrow

With a «well played» today

The lights are on

And life goes on

Until it don’t

What’d ya say JJ

He said you got it all wrong

You gotta move on

You can’t keep singing that dad old song

You have to fight the urge to reminisce

You can push rewind in your mind

It ain’t nothing but a waste of time

Today’s the day to get past this

Cuz the Past is Practice

«I mean the fact is, there is no finer way to waste time, than to be caught up

obsessing about the past.

It’s gone, it’s gone forever, move on, love!»

He said you got it all wrong

You gotta move on

You can’t keep singing that dad old song

You have to fight the urge to reminisce

You can push rewind in your mind

It ain’t nothing but a waste of time

Today’s the day to get past this

Cuz the Past is Practice
