It's About Time Songtext
von Guy Clark

Hear that old tune come driftin′ down the hall
Trying to put a stop to the clocks on the wall
Free flowin', free flown
Lord, mama, how that old thief time carries on

And you just 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

Well, it looks a chance with no reason not to take
And it looks like our dance while the record player fakes it
Hold on, King's X
Well, I think I′ll be the captain standing on a burning deck


And you just 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

So, come waltz you ′round this old room with me
As if we were some old pair of high degree
'Round and ′round again
Don't let old fickle stickle catch you keepin′ time with a friend

And you just 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

(Once more!)
And you just take off your old coat and let down your hair
Kick off them boots hon I don′t care it′s only time
And only time will tell
