I don't normally post country songs, but the lyrics were too good to pass up.
There's no time to kill
between the cradle and the grave.
Father Time still takes a toll
on every minute that you save.
Legal tender's never gonna change
the number on your days.
The highest cost of livin' is dying,
that's one everybody pays.
So have it spent before you get the bill,
there's no time to kill.
If we'd known ten years ago
today would be ten years from now
Would we spend tomorrow's yesterdays
and make it last somehow?
Or lead the cheers in someone else's game
and never learn to play
And see the rules of thumb are
all the same that measure every day.
The grass is green on both sides of the hill,
there's no time to kill.
No time to kill, even I've said it
and probably always will
But I can look ahead
and see that time ain't standin' still.
No time to kill but time to change
the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work and worry
looking back at where I've been.
If you don't look ahead nobody will,
there's no time to kill.
If we had an hour glass
to watch each one go by
Or a bell to mark each one to pass,
we'd see just how they fly.
Would we escalate the value
to be worth its weight in gold?
Or would we never know the fortunes
that we had until we grow old?
And do we just keep killin' time
until there's no time to kill?
No time to kill,
even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead
and see that time ain't standin' still.
No time to kill but time
to change the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work and worry
lookin' back at where I've been.
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill.
No time to kill, even I've said it
and probably always will
But I can look ahead
and see that time ain't standin' still.
No time to kill but time
to change the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work
and worry lookin' back at where I've been.
If you don't look ahead nobody will,
there's no time to kill.
No time to kill
No time to kill
