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...
