Time

My poor Mom was in labor 12 hours And I was born around 6:00 AM For the time it took her to bring me in this world, You'd've thought the girl was gonna have twins I'd be a day older if that doctor hadn't told her I'd be better off if I came late She said fine and that gave him plenty of time To get in 18 holes that day [Chorus] Yeah time, time, everything takes time From grabbin' hold of life to turnin' it loose And in the time that went by while I sang you those lines We all lost a minute or two There's a 15 year old ridin' shotgun down the road, He can't wait to get behind the wheel And a grandma in the kitchen washin' dishes And wishin' she still knew how 16 feels Every year we get older, all the months seem shorter, Kinda like weeks, weeks seem like days Yeah, the hours fly by when you're havin' a good time, But they don't stand still when you ain't [Chorus] Time only moves forward every minute leanin' towards that day Our hair is gone or gray We all make it and we use it, we waste it and abuse it While the clock just laughs in our face [Chorus] Yeah time, time, we got nothin' but time And there ain't a dad-gum thing about it we can do And in the time that went by while I sang you those lines We lost another minute or two So, let's not lose another minute or two --- Time - Ray Scott
