"When The Sand Runs Out" lyrics - RASCAL FLATTS

I spent the morning at an old friend's grave
Flowers and Amazing Grace, he was a good man
He spent his whole life spinnin' his wheels
Never knowin' how the real thing feels
He never took a chance or took the time to dance
And I stood there thinking as I said goodbye
Today is the first day of the rest of my life

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm gonna stop looking back and start moving on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I want to leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I want to be running
When the sand runs out

'Cause people do it everyday
Promise themselves they're gonna change
I've been there, but I'm changing from the inside out
That was then and this is now
I'm a new man, yeah, I'm a brand new man
And when they carve my stone they'll write these words
"Here lies a man who lived life for all that it's worth"

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna stop looking back and start moving on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I want to leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I want to be running
When the sand runs out

[Bridge:]
And as the cold wind blows across the graveyard I think I hear
The voice of my old friend whisper in my ear

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna stop looking back and start moving on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I want to leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I want to be running
When the sand runs out

[Outro:]
I want to be running when the sand runs out
Oh, yes I do
