Time Won't Take Its Time

Thirty has turned into forty Another year has come and gone I made plans to do big things I resolved to finally right the wrongs I had dreams of a good life Maybe even find me a wife Travel with me though I'm single and free 'Cause time won't take its time with me I got on that 'A' train this mornin' Prob'ly take the bus home later Been wastin' away at this old job Just to get a little food on my plate And one last stop at the liquor store Before I tuck my blues in tonight Trouble my friend is I'm at a dead end And time won't take its time with me Sure is an awful kind of feelin' When your bank account's always low But I don't plan to start out stealin' So I earn a few lines in my brow I ain't getting any younger And I'm seeing family less and less Trouble in mind and the world is unkind And time won't take its time with me Sure is an awful kind of feelin' When your bank account is always low But I don't plan to start out stealin' So I earn a few lines in my brow I ain't getting any younger I'm seeing family less and less Trouble in mind and the world is unkind And time won't take its time with me Hay-Yo-de-lay-hee-hee Hay-Lay-hee-hay Hay-lay-hee
