People are saying that time'll take care of people like me
And I'm living too fast, Lord you know it can't last too much longer
But little they see that their thoughts of me is my savior
And they really should know that the beat ought to go a little faster
So pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home
A singer ain't singin and the drummer's been drinkin' too long
Time'll take care of itself so leave time alone
Pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home
Change Key to
I'm wild and I'm mean, and I'm creating a scene, I'm goin' crazy
I'm good and I'm bad, I'm happy, I'm sad and I'm lazy
I'm quiet and I'm loud, gatherin' a crowd and I like gravy
'Bout half off the wall but I learned it all in the Navy
So pick up the tempo just a little bit, take it on home
A singer ain't singin and the drummer's been drinkin' too long
Time'll take care of itself so leave time alone
Pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home
Pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home
