Because It was

First thing I’m gonna do
after quarantine
Is go see all the people
I ain’t seen
Since before this started
And give their hands a shake.
I’m gonna go to a ball game
Maybe take in in a show
Head down to the strip club
With money to blow
Sit at the counter
And order a big old steak.

Chorus:
‘Cept I never did that much of that before
Funny how you recall life as more
So much more.

Whether it's how many beers 

or the things that she said
How many years, 

or the hairs on your head
Time makes the heart grow fonder,
Yes it does.
Seems like just yesterday,
because it was.

When I can do it again
I’m gonna start working out
Finish that novel
I been thinking about
Find myself a place to volunteer.
Do regular laps around the mall
Maybe give that widow
Down the street a call,
Pay off those debts!
Stop living life in fear!

Chorus

Bridge:
We’re all gonna get some life back
All the things we used to do
Maybe it’s ok 

to think today
Bout what’s worth going back to?

So when this finally ends
And they sound all clear
Whether it comes next week
next month, or next year
And I’m thinking I’m
Supposed to snap right back,
I’ll still be sad
That we lost John Prine
And I’m still not him
But that’s still just fine
First thing to do
Is cut myself a little slack.

Chorus
