Up in the morning, out on my job Work like a devil for my pay And the lucky old sun Ain't got nothing to do But roll around heaven all day Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray But the lucky old sun Ain't got nothing to do But roll around heaven all day Lord above, can't you see I'm cryin'? Tears are in my eyes Send down a cloud With a silver linin' Take me to paradise Show me that river, lead me across Take all my troubles away Like the lucky old sun I have nothing to do But roll around heaven all day Like the lucky old sun I have nothing to do But roll around heaven all day

Time is my friend, my friend The more I reject it the more that it kicks in Just enough to keep me on my toes I say come on time, I've beat you before Come on time, what have you got for me this time? I'll take your words of wisdom and I'll try to make them rhyme Hey,it's just me and you again Come on time Time, you're not fooling me You're something I can't kill You're flying like a mighty wind Keep never standing still Time, as you've passed me by Why did you leave these lines on my face? You sure have put me in my place Come on time, come on time Looks like you're winning the race Time, you're not fooling me You're something I can't kill You're flying like a mighty wind You're never standing still Time, as you've passed me by Why did you leave these lines on my face? You sure have put me in my place Come on time, come on time Looks like you're winning the race Come on time, come on time Looks like you're winning the race

Drinkin' a black coffee in a little motel lobby Waitin' on the band to come down I've been travelin' across Texas In a little station wagon And draggin' a trailer around I do the drivin' They do the drinkin' That's how I keep us alive We played a good show Last night in Waco We still got an eight-hour drive If I ever get old, I'll still love the road Still love the way that it winds Now when the last song's been played I'll look back and say I sure had a beautiful time Now we're packed up and rollin' Who cares where we're goin' The radio's playin' sweet country sounds Got the sun on my skin My hair's in the wind And all of the windows rolled down If I ever get old, I'll still love the road Still love the way that it winds When the last song's been played I'll look back and say I sure had a beautiful time They're havin' a party In the back seat, whoa, Lordy Looks like they're all out of beer They're laughin' at good jokes Rollin' the good smoke Why don't y'all pass that one up here? If I ever get old, I'll still love the road I'll still love the way that it winds When the last song's been played I'll look back and say I sure had a beautiful time I sure had a beautiful time

Well, hello there My, it's been a long, long time How you doin'? Oh, I guess that I'm doin' fine It's been so long now, but it seems like It was only yesterday Gee, ain't it funny How time just slips away? And how's your new love? (ooh-ooh, ooh) Well, I guess he's doin' fine I heard you told him (ooh-ooh, ooh) That you'd love him 'til the end of time Now that's the same thing That I told you It seems like just the other day (ooh, ooh, ooh) Gee, ain't it funny How time just slips away? Well, I gotta go now I guess I'll see you around I don't know when though 'Cause I never know when I'll be back in town But remember what I told you "Yeah, in time, you're gonna be" Kinda surprisin' How time just slips away Gee, ain't it funny How time (how time) just slips away? (Slips away)
