chance mckinney - sixty times lyrics

[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 b-tterflies, 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 bombsh-ll
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 b-tterflies, 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 b-tterflies, 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
