Daddy worked down in a coal mine
And Mama worked hard at the mill
Well it 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
Folks getting old and the time ain't long
Well, they're both getting old
and the time ain't long
Time ain't long
Time ain't long
I never went much to school
and maybe that's just because
I couldn't take all the fooling.
Good boy, I never was.
Ain't got all that much to say
If you need to pass the time of day
Spend it with me
Because your time with me's long
Well you know you can spend your
time with me
Time with love
Time with love
Well, people, all been screamin'
About what is right or wrong
I used to spend my time dreamin'
Now all I do is sing my song
If you need some liberty
Be anything that you wanna be
Get moving soon,
cause your time ain't long
Better soon,
cause your time ain't long
Time ain't long
Time ain't long
Time ain't long
I believe my time, leave my time,
leave my time alone.
I believe my time, leave my time,
leave my time alone.
I believe my time, leave my time,
leave my time alone.
I believe my time, believe my time,
believe my time is long
