AIN'T GOT THE TIME
(Tom T. Hall)


Tom T. Hall - 1968





I can tell your heart's been broken in two, you are lookin' for a shoulder
I 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 well wish
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

(Instrumental Break)

I can tell that you've been hurt pretty bad, you need someone to cry to
You're like a bird with a 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 well wish
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
Ain't got the time, ain't got the time
