I Got the Time Songtext
von The Band of Heathens

2020 quarantine, land of the Free
Ain′t nobody going nowhere, nothing here to see
How long am I expected to stare at these four walls?
The voices in my head are screaming down the hall
Telling me to find a place where I can go and play
I'm all freed up, but I can′t get away

I got time, but I ain't got the money
It's not unusual, it′s a hell of a thing
And I heard the line that the truth can be funny
I got the time, but I ain′t got the money

I moved out to try to find a place to escape
But it's spring break in Ibiza and summers on The Cape
Wine and dine 69 Champagne and Caviar
Members of a different club, the billionaires, and stars
How can a blue collar, low dollar poor boy like me
Find a seat, at this table in this other galaxy?


I got time, but I ain′t got the money
It's not unusual, it′s a hell of a thing
I heard the line that the truth can be funny
See, I got the time, but I ain't got the money
I got the time, but I ain′t got the money

Play my numbers, sit and wonder how to strike it rich
Fantasy's my mistress, reality's a bitch
That calls up to invite me, to vacation with my friends
But I don′t wanna hear it, I know how this story ends
I′m all freed up, but I can't get away
All freed up but I can′t get away
All freed up but I can't get away

I got time, but I ain′t got the money
It's not unusual, it′s a hell of a thing, thing, thing
I heard the line that the truth can be funny
See, I got the time, but I ain't got the money

Yeah, I got the time, oh, but I ain't got the money
I got the time, no, I ain′t got the money
I got the time, but I ain′t got the money
I got the time, I ain't got the money
