WAYLON JENNINGS - PICK UP THE TEMPO lyrics

rate me

Some people are saying that time will take care of people like me

That I'm living too fast and they say I can't last much longer

But little they see that their thoughts of me is my saviour

And little they know I might live forever

So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home

The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long

Time'll take care of itself so just leave time alone

And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home

I'm wild and I'm mean I'm creatin' a scene I'm goin' crazy

I'm good and I'm bad and I'm happy and sad and I'm lazy

I'm quiet and I'm loud and I'm gatherin' a crowd and I like gravy

About half off the wall but I learned it all in the Navy

So pick up the tempo...

Yeah pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
