There’s a girl on the back porch trying to say goodnight
Mama’s in the kitchen flicking on and off the lights
That boy’s got to go now it’s getting pretty late
She says mama I don’t want to disobey
But I need five more minutes
Cause I ain’t ready yet
We’re out here counting the stars
This night’s as pretty as it gets
Please mama don’t make him go
I need five more minutes
Five more minutes
There’s a daddy that tells the organist to play one more song
No nothin’s wrong I just want another moment to hold my baby girl
Since the first day I held you I knew this day would come
And honey I’m so glad you found the one

But I need five more minutes
Cause I ain’t ready yet
With that white dress and flowers in your hair
You’re as pretty as it gets
It’s so hard to let my baby go
I need five more minutes
Five more minutes
It’s just him and her and God around that bed
He needs five more minutes
Cause he ain’t ready yet
His wrinkled hands are praying
Wishing God would take him instead
It’s so hard to let his baby go
He needs five more minutes
Five more minutes
Man that clock ticks so fast
Once time passes you can’t have it back
