Ain’t Wasting Time Songtext
von The Allman Brothers Band

Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain
Week before, they all seemed the same
With the help of God and true friends, I′ve come to realize
I still have two strong legs, and even wings to fly

And oh, I ain't a-wastin′ time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things

Well, Lord, Lord, Miss Sally, why are your cryin'?
Been around here three long days, lookin′ like you′re dyin'
Just step yourself outside and look up at the stars above
Go on downtown, baby, find somebody to love

But meanwhile, I ain′t a-wastin' time no more
′Cause time goes by like pourin' rain, and much faster things


You don′t need no gypsy to tell you why
Ya can't let one precious day to slip by
Look inside yourself, and if you don't see what you want
Maybe sometimes then you don′t
But leave your mind alone and just get high, oh yeah

Well, by and by, way after many years have gone
And all the war freaks die off, leavin′ us alone
We'll raise our children in the peaceful way we can
It′s up to you and me, brother, to try and try again

So, hear us now, we ain't wastin′ time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes
Runnin′ after the subway trains
Don't forget the pourin' rain
