Rockin’ Chairs Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now and then, I see old timers talkin'
All day long, relivin' them good ol' days
Like it never gets old and it's same ol' stories
Got me wonderin' if it's gonna be us one day?
Better live this one life we got up, 'cause

[Chorus]
These are the days that are gonna fly by
Like lightnin' so they say
These are the nights, yeah the good times
When we let the wild side out to play
These are the Sunday mornin's we talk to the Lord
And get right with the man upstairs
Get back to rockin' out
So, we can say we were there when we talk about it
In our rockin' chairs

[Verse 2]
Come on y'all, we got memories to make
Some cold beers to drink
And some songs we gotta live out loud
Gonna be some good hearts breakin'
Bunch of mistakes
Maybe someday we'll figure it out
But right now it's all about, goin' all the way
[Chorus]
These are the days that are gonna fly by
Like lightnin' so they say
These are the nights, yeah the good times
When we let the wild side out to play
These are the Sunday mornin's we talk to the Lord
And get right with the man upstairs
Get back to rockin' out
So, we can say we were there when we talk about it
In our rockin' chairs
In our rockin' chairs

[Bridge]
We gotta crank it up to ten and then some
Go way too far, too fast, too hard
And have too much fun

[Verse 3]
These are the days and they're gonna
Fly by like lightnin'
So they say
These are the times of our lives
And we ain't got none to waste

[Chorus]
These are the days that are gonna fly by
Like lightnin' so they say
These are the nights, yeah the good times
When we let the wild side out to play
These are the Sunday mornin's we talk to the Lord
And get right with the Man upstairs
Get back to rockin' out
So, we can say we were there when we talk about it
In our rockin' chairs
[Outro]
In our rockin' chairs
In our rockin' chairs

What did Brantley Gilbert say about "Rockin' Chairs"?
Genius Answer

Rockin' Chairs is a song that, ya know, it reminds me of my Pawpaw. My Pawpaw and all his buddies used to sit around this ol' hardware store Kenny’s in my hometown and they used to sit around in rockin' chairs and tell stories. Rockin' Chairs is really just about to me livin a life so you got stories to tell, ya know, when you’re in your rockin chair
