Time Ain't Long

Daddy worked down in the coal mine

And mamma worked hard at the mill

Well I know it sounds like an old line but

I tried and I always will

Now that I've grown up to be a man

The only thing I've learned is don't give a damn

My folks are getting older, and their time ain't long

Well they're both getting old and their time ain't long

Time ain't long

Time ain't long

Time ain't long

I never went much for schooling

Maybe that's just because

I couldn't take all their fooling

Good boy, I never was

Ain't got all that much to say

If you need to pass the time a day

Spend it with me because my time ain't long

Well you know you can spend your time with me

Time ain't long

Time ain't long

Time ain't long

Well, people we all been screaming

About what is right or wrong

I used to spend my time dreaming

Now all I do is sing my song

If you need some liberty

Be anything that you wanna be

But get moving soon, because your time ain't long

Well you better move soon because your time ain't long

Time ain't long

Time ain't long

Time ain't long

I believe my time, believe my time

I believe my time ain't long

I believe my time, believe my time

Believe my time ain't long

I believe my time, believe my time

Believe my time ain't long

I believe my time, believe my time

Believe my time ain't long

Time ain't long

Time ain't long

(You can't stop it)

Time ain't long

(You can't stop it)

Time ain't long

(You can't fight it)

Time ain't long

(You can't fight it)

Time ain't long

(You can't take it)

Time ain't long

(You can try to stop it)

Time ain't long

(You can't steal it)

Time ain't long
