lyrics

It’s About Time

There’s rambling on my mind and in my soul
Wanting to hold on and still let go
Got a couple old dogs I’d hate to leave behind
Nights are restless and days are cold
You cling real close to the things you hold
But it’s more than the weather gives me a worried mind
Clock keeps ticking, it’s getting too loud
Got to leave behind this maddening crowd

But I’m mostly just trying to hold the line
No matter what I keep on trying
Now I’m getting on board and baby, it’s about time
It’s about time

It’s way past midnight and you gotta go
We can’t do each other no good no more
I wish it was different but it’s just the same
I wanted to be an actor and make it all up
But fate intervened I couldn’t make it stop
There was too much momentum
To change the game

Why don’t you try me tomorrow, I might be better then
I just might be your long-lost friend

I’ve always had too much time on my hands
Too much thinking for an active man
Now it’s all come back, taking vengeance on me
Making me all confused and it’s hard to see
Any way out don’t involve taking to the sea
It’s hard to be a servant and still stay free
I’m rowing a boat ain’t got no oars
Living in a house ain’t got no doors

I was born by the river in a far off land
I can never return there you understand
It had to do with something beyond my control
Now I love my companions, don’t get me wrong
But you’re the only woman I could take along
The only woman who could safely get me home

What’s a boy to do when he becomes a man
He needs a place where he can stand
Chorus
