Time Ain't Long - Paul Carrack, Jes Walker
Daddy worked down in a coal mine,
Mamma worked hard at the mill,
I know that is sounds like an old line, but,
I tried and I always will,
Now that I've grown up to be a man,
Only thing I've learned is don't give a damn,
My folks getting old--time ain't long,
Well There both getting old and time ain't long.
Time ain't long,
Time ain't long,
Time ain't long,
I never went much for schooling,
Maybe that's just because
I couldn't take all their fooling.
Good-boy I never was.
Ain't got all that much to say, but,
If you need to pass the time of day,
Spend it with me--time ain't long.
Well you know you can spend your time with me,
Time ain't long,
Time ain't long,
Time ain't long,
Well, people we all been screaming,
about what is right or wrong,
I used to spend my time dreaming,
Now all I do is sing my song,
If you need some liberty,
Be anything you wanna be,
But get moving soon--time ain't long,
Well you better move soon cos time ain't long.
Time ain't long, etc.
