Sixty Times Lyrics by Chance McKinney

Be Real

0

[Verse 1]
I hung up the phone, caught my breath
One more hour is what her mama said
‘Til she’d be in, then I could try again
I had my notebook layin’ on the tablecloth
There were 30-some questions I could rattle off
Written down inside, in case I got tongue-tied
My best friend said her sister said that she heard from a friend
That if I had the guts to ask that she’d go to the dance
[Chorus]
And I was nervous, with butterflies, a little giddy on the inside
I’d never felt this way before was I supposed to be this high?
How long could an hour take? My folks think I’m a nutcase
But I played it cool as the minute hand ticked by
I only checked it sixty times
[verse 2]
Well she said yes, the dance went well
She was a brace-faced skinny-kneed bombshell
I was an awkward mess, a perfect fit I guess
Seven years later she was wearin’ my ring
I was pacin’ up and down the maternity wing
Waitin’ for the word, see I’d come straight from work
The nurse wouldn’t let me in the room until I’d had a shower
She said my wife was doin’ fine and I’d be a dad within the hour
[Chorus]
And I was nervous, with butterflies, a little giddy on the inside
I’d never felt this way before was I supposed to be this high?
How long could an hour take? The nurse think I’m a nutcase
But I played it cool as the minute hand ticked by
I only checked it sixty times
[Verse 3]
Good night my love, sleep tight, everything will be alright
If you call for me I’ll be right by your side
Then I placed her in her crib and settled in for her first night
Nah, I ain’t gonna lie I was
[Chorus]
I was nervous, with butterflies, a little giddy on the inside
I’d never felt this way before was I supposed to be this high?
I stood there by her nursery door, waitin' for a little baby snore
But I played it cool as my wife walked by and smiled
I only checked in sixty times
[Outro]
I only checked in sixty times
I only checked in sixty times
Yeah, I'm a real tough guy aren't I?
Playin' it cool, that's what I do
Hey, what time is it?
Yeah she'll be right back
Did I hear somethin' in the baby room?
Honey I better go check
