The 1st time I heard this song I was going to my new job (now 18yrs and dads 44th yr) with my dad in his white 69 impala. Ironic that I was with him I thought and the song was about his dad for the most part. It always reminds me of him and that time in our life and also how fragile it all is and how aggressive time moves with no mercy. I believe people should consider more often how fast it all moves and try to take the time to do the things they know they should before there's no more time left to do it or before the opportunity passes them by. Nothings promised and people would be wise to remember that. Everyday. Everyone's guilty of allowing opportunity's to pass them by myself included. Just at least try to change that to the best of your ability.
