Country music singer-songwriter Scotty McCreery‘s heartfelt tune “Five More Minutes” was inspired in part by his relationship with his grandfather, Bill, who passed away in 2015. Scotty recently took to Instagram to share a throwback picture of himself as a child with his grandfather preparing to go fishing at the beach.
“What I’d give for #fivemoreminutes of fishing with granddaddy,” the star captioned the following photo.
It’s nice to get a little glimpse at the real people behind country songs. Country music certainly comes from the heart and the real lives of its artists. The North Carolina natives highly-anticipated third studio album, Seasons Change, is slated for release on March 16th.
“In the last five years, I have grown from a teenager to a man, moved out on my own, lost my grandfather, proposed to the love of my life, and learned more about myself than I could have imagined,” shared McCreery in a statement. “This all shows up in the 11 songs on ‘Seasons Change’, and I cannot wait to share this music with my fans after such a long time between releases.”

“Five More Minutes” Lyrics
Eight years old a couple cane poles sitting down by the creek
Our lines in the water watching those bobbers seeing that red sun sink
Mama’s on the porch yelling supper’s hot, y’all come and get it
We yelled five more minutes
At sixteen it was twelve o three standing at her front door
Katie’s dad said midnight, but we needed just a little more
Yellow light flipping on and off, interrupting that goodnight kissing
We wanted five more minutes
Time rolls by the clock don’t stop
I wish I had a few more drops
Of the good stuff, the good times
Oh but they just keep on flying
Right on by like it ain’t nothing
Wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those Lord knows I’d hit it
And give myself five more minutes
At eighteen turned my helmet in and walked to the fifty yard line
Just the coach and me after we lost eighteen to nine
And I cried man next time to get in here I’ll have to buy a ticket
Can’t you give me five more minutes
Time rolls by the clock don’t stop
I wish I had a few more drops
Of the good stuff, the good times
Oh but they just keep on flying
Right on by like it ain’t nothing
Wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those Lord knows I’d hit it
And give myself five more minutes
At eighty-six my grandpa said there’s angels in the room
All the family gathered ’round knew the time was coming soon
With so much left to say I prayed Lord I ain’t finished
Just give us five more minutes
Time rolls by the clock don’t stop
I wish I had a few more drops
Of the good stuff, the good times
Oh but they just keep on flying
Right on by like it ain’t nothing
Wish I had me a pause button
Moments like those Lord knows I’d hit it
Yeah sometimes this old life will leave you wishing
That you had five more minutes
