Guy Clark - It's About Time lyrics

[Verse 1] Hear that old tune come drifting down the hall Trying to put a stop to clocks on the wall Free flowing, free flown, Lord, momma How that old thief time carries on [Chorus] Take off your old coat and let down your hair Kick off them boots, honey, I don't care It's only time and only time will tell [Verse 2] Looks like a chance with no reason, not to take it Looks like our dance while the record player fakes it Hold on, King's X, I think I'll be a captain Standing on a burning deck [Chorus] [Verse 3] So come waltz you around this old room with me As if we were some old pair of high degree Round and round again don't let old fickle sickle Catch you keeping time with a friend [Chorus]
