Around Forever
Randall King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drinkin' with them boys back from 'round here
Like it's senior year and life ain't hit us yet
Tippin' back to catchin' touchdowns
Big stars in a small town
Some of us rolled out
Some of us'll stick around forever
It goes from good to bad to better
Nah, you can't get back the sand in your glass
Gotta live it like it's now or never
Laughing 'bout that time on spring break
Sittin', sippin' on a rusted tailgate
Yeah, the night's gonna end so we're taking it in while we're all together
Ain't gonna be around forever
My view's best when that sun kisses her skin
Early morning light, hittin' just right on her side of the bed
God gave me a best friend
She's an angel, she's a blessing
Best one He ever sent down
And He's been around forever
Life spins like a Haggard record
It goes from good to bad to better
Nah, you can't get back the sand in your glass
Gotta love her like it's now or never
Hold her tight and let her know I got her
No matter what come, Hell or high water
Say all I need to say, make the most of every day that we get together
Wanna keep her around forever
I wanna keep her around forever
Daddy used throw me in the sky like I was Superman
It's funny looking back now 'cause that's who I thought he was back then
I didn't know, he'd grow old and wouldn't be around forever
Life spins like a Haggard record
It goes from good to bad to better
Nah, you can't get back the sand in your glass
Gotta live it like it's now or never
Yeah, we're lucky that we got love in life
So don't hesitate to take time
Make your call when you can
Take every little chance to get together
They won't be around forever
They won't be around forever
The song "Around Forever" by Randall King is about cherishing the present moment and not taking it for granted, as life can change quickly. The opening lines of the song describe a group of friends drinking and reminiscing about their high school days, where life seemed simpler and the future was not as daunting. Some of them have moved on from their small town, but some remain, reminding us that life is ever-changing.
The chorus repeats the metaphor of life being like a spinning record by country legend Merle Haggard, reminding the listener that life goes through good and bad times, but we cannot go back to the past. The singer describes the love he feels for his best friend and partner, whom he considers to be a blessing and the best gift sent down from God. He vows to cherish every day with her, no matter what challenges they face, and to take every opportunity to be together.
The final verse of the song takes a nostalgic turn, as the singer fondly remembers his father from his younger years. He recalls how his father would playfully throw him up in the air like a superhero, and how he saw him as invincible. However, with time, the singer’s father grew old and eventually passed away, highlighting the fleeting nature of life once again. Overall, the song is a poignant reminder to cherish every moment and appreciate those we love, for they will not be around forever.

Wanna keep her around forever
Wanting to spend the rest of his life with his significant other
Daddy used throw me in the sky like I was Superman
Remembering childhood memories with his father
It's funny looking back now 'cause that's who I thought he was back then
Realizing that his father was only pretending to be Superman, but he still felt like a superhero
Life spins like a Haggard record
Reiterating the unpredictability of life
Yeah, we're lucky that we got love in life
Feeling grateful for the love in his life
So don't hesitate to take time
Encouraging people to make time for their loved ones
Make your call when you can
Keeping in touch with loved ones whenever possible
Take every little chance to get together
Taking every opportunity to spend time with loved ones, no matter how small
They won't be around forever
Loved ones may not be present in our lives indefinitely, so cherish them while we can

[Verse 1]
Soak it up, cold beer

Some of us'll stick around forever

Life spins like a Haggard record
It goes from good to bad to better
Nah, you can't get back the sand in your glass
Got 'em living like it's now or never
Laughing 'bout that time on spring break
Sittin', sippin' on a rusted tailgate
Yeah, the night's gonna end so we're taking it in while we're all together
Ain't gonna be around forevеr

He’s not a sellout.
If you would like an example of a sellout.... listen to 96.3 KSCS
@southernman87
Once he puts a hip hop beat in his music he'll fit right in. By the way,hope he never does that.
@jasonhawkins3522
He’s too country for mainstream country radio
