Ain't Got the Time

(Tom T. Hall)



"The attitude seems selfish at first, but the true intent is honest and

straight forward."



I can tell your heart's been broken in two you are looking for a shoulder

I've found out that other people's tears just seem to make me older

I'd like to help with your broken heart really I think it's a crime

But I ain't got the time, ain't got the time.



All that I can give you is a wellwish

I hate to be that way I know that it's selfish

But baby I've got a destiny to meet and I know it's on down the line

Ain't got the time, ain't got the time.

I can tell that you've been hurt pretty bad you need someone to cry to

You're like a bird with the broken wing and you need some place to fly to

But I've found out from life that I can't live nobody's but mine.

Ain't got the time, ain't got the time.



All that I can give you is a wellwish

I hate to be that way I know that it's selfish

But baby I've got a destiny to meet and I know it's on down the line

Ain't got the time, ain't got the time...
