Time Won't Take Its Time Letra

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
