The Dash - Scotty McCreery

Whole town showed up

Gymnasium filled

Floor was wet from all the tears spilled

And the preacher man said

We’re all gathered today

And I’ll never forget what he had to say

It’s always too soon

It’s always too fast

There’ll never come a day

When you don’t want him back

It ain’t about the numbers

Chiseled in concrete

It’s how they live their life in the dash between

In the dash between

He was a steel worker’s son

Homecoming king

He trained day and night for that championship ring

Found him a girl

Made her his queen

And he fought for his country

And he gave it everything

It’s always too soon

It’s always too fast

There’ll never come a day

When you don’t want him back

It ain’t about the numbers

Chiseled in concrete

It’s how they live their life in the dash between

In the dash between the first breath and the last

Marks all the memories of the past

That little black line defines a legacy

It’s always too soon

It’s always too fast

They’re always too young

It’s always so sad

It ain’t about the numbers chiseled in concrete

It’s how they live their life in the dash between

In the dash between
