Jerry Jeff Walker - Pick Up The Tempo lyrics

rate me

Willie Nelson

People are saying that times take care

Of people like me

And that I'm living too fast and they say I won't last

Much longer

But little they see that their thoughts of me

Is my savior

And little they know the beat ought to go

A little faster

So pick up the tempo

Pick up the tempo

So pick up the tempo just a little bit

And take it on home

The singer ain't singing

And the drummer's been draggin'

Too long

Time will 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 creating a scene

I'm goin' crazy

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

And I'm lazy

I'm quiet and loud and I'm creatin' a crowd

And I like rabies

I'm 'bout half off the wall but I learned it all

In the Navy

So pick up the tempo

Pick up the tempo

So pick up the tempo

And take it on home
