GOT NO TIME


 
GOT NO TIME

Movin’ down the road just singin’ my song
Tryin’ to find a love, tryin’ to find a home, but nothin’ ever last very long
With the wind in my face there’s a new town up ahead
The suns goin’ down and I need to find a place to make my bed

Got no time for cryin’
Got no time for dyin’
Got no time to lose
And I sure ain’t got no time for the blues
Got not time for memories because this life is almost done
Got no time for stoppin’, there’s an angel that’s got me on the run

The past is in my rear view mirror and the world keeps spinnin’ around
I keep movin’ forward and the sun keeps goin’ down
Life is chasin’ me down from town to town and I know one day this will all end
Searchin’ for the truth in what lies ahead, and the truth is, time is not my friend

Got no time for cryin’
Got no time for dyin’
Got no time to lose
And I sure ain’t got no time for the blues
Got not time for memories because this life is almost done
Got no time for stoppin’, there’s an angel that’s got me on the run

Lookin’ for a name that’s never been spoken
Lookin’ for a heart that’s never been broken
Lookin’ for a place that’s shiny and clean
Lookin’ for a place that’s never been seen

Tryin’ to find somethin’ to believe in, somethin’ that will believe in me
Tryin’ to find some faith in all that’s around me, a faith that will set me free
All I can find are chains that bind me to traditions that I can’t flee
So I’ll keep on riding to some place new trying to find the key

Got no time for cryin’
Got no time for dyin’
Got no time to lose
And I sure ain’t got no time for the blues
Got no time for memories because this life is almost done
Got no time for stoppin’, there’s an angel that’s got me on the run
