Detroit built brakes so that they could make a Chevy slow down
And a just-right midnight sorry might turn goodbye around
Bloody Marys and aspirin will give a hangover one hell of a fight
But my remedy for handling the hands of time
Is Seger singing "Hollywood Nights"
Even the losers get lucky sometimes
A paradise by the dashboard light
And I'm just fine, I'm doing alright
We ain't as young as we used to be
But young at heart is so easy
When you let some loud guitars and words that rhyme
Handle the hands of time
My go-to game day jersey's always Carolina blue
When I need to find forgiveness, I find a little small town church pew, yeah
After work I like to put my elbows up on a bar
And girl, I turn to the speakers when I need to speak to this ol' heart
And it's "Back In Black," "Shook Me All Night Long"
"Could You Be Loved," "Redemption Song"
"Luckenbach," "Home Sweet Home"
I'm "Where I Belong," "Ain't Nothing Wrong," yeah
We ain't as young as we used to be
But young at heart is so easy
When you let some loud guitars and words that rhyme
Handle the hands of time
Hands of time
Tryin' to hang on as the song rolls
Like gravity pulls on the grains of sand
We take our licks, life takes its toll
We say thanks and we fold our hands
And it's "Amazing Grace," how sweet the sound ("Amazing Grace")
Sunday morning coming down
Tuesday's gone, green grass of home (Tuesday's gone)
I come to the garden alone, yeah
We ain't as young as we used to be
But until under that willow you bury me
I'm gonna turn up some loud guitars
Turn up some loud guitars
(Turn it up loud) Turn up some loud guitars
(Turn it up) Crank some loud guitars
Crank up some loud guitars (Turn it up, turn it up now)
Wanna hear some loud guitars (Turn it up, turn it up now)
I'm gonna let some loud guitars and words that rhyme
(Turn it up, turn it up now, turn it up)
Handle the hands of time

"Hands of Time" is a song by American country music singer Eric Church, released on March 20, 2025, as the lead single from his eighth studio album Evangeline vs. the Machine (2025). It was written by Church and Scooter Carusoe and produced by Jay Joyce.
In an Instagram video, Eric Church said:
"Hands of Time" is interesting because as I get older, I'm looking for things that make me feel not as old. And for "Hands of Time," I really can honestly say that when I hear music or a movie or something, those things, when I see something from my past, I feel like I did then. I relate to what it was then. And there's a line in the song, "How do you handle the hands of time?" I really believe that a good way to handle that is with music with Seger and with "Hollywood Nights" and every line of the song. But I think that that's a way I handle it. I think it was an interesting concept from a writing standpoint, to come in and handle it that way. I think it's pretty good advice for people as they age to find things that make them feel younger, and that's what this song is all about.
"Hands of Time" is a country song that blends Southern rock and blues. It contains gospel elements from the backup vocals, while the production consists of electric guitar, horn stabs and sound effects of clocks ticking.
Lyrically, the song is about listening to music to feel younger as one is aging. Eric Church shouts to numerous songs serving as his influences, including "Hollywood Nights" by Bob Seger, "Even the Losers" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meat Loaf, "Back in Black" and "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC, "Could You Be Loved" and "Redemption Song" by Bob Marley and the Wailers, "Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)" by Waylon Jennings, "Amazing Grace" and "Sunday Morning Coming Down".
