Jerry Jeff Walker - Very Short Time lyrics

Keith Sykes Chorus: It's easy to see that we've just a very short time So why don't we just go to the hill and climb We'll go up just as high as John T. Booker got low Yeah, singin' the songs that don't rhyme Laughin' at the minutes that fall behind, in a very short time Yeah, a tadpole's cuter than a topwater ever could be And I betcha neither one ever had a lifeguard like me Ain't nobody drowned since I got here, I been lookin' after tadpoles Watchin' their legs that will grow, wonderin' where they're gonna go In a very short time Well, it's easy to see that, we've just a very short time Yeah, nobody thinks about it until it's very far behind Then they got to know where every second has gone They keep singin' them songs that do rhyme Carryin' those pennies that refuse to shine Cryin' for the minutes that fell behind in a very short time Chorus
