| The fortune teller’s eyes
|
| They would not look at me
|
| She said these cards don’t lie
|
| An' I said so what d' you see?
|
| She told me what I did
|
| Her voice was cold an' odd
|
| She said go hug your kids
|
| An' check your faith in God
|
| Because your time ain’t long
|
| She said your time ain’t long
|
| You ain’t done no one wrong
|
| You’ve got a fine, safe home
|
| But, boy, your time ain’t long
|
| I walked out homeward bound
|
| An' I drove them crosstown blocks
|
| An' I felt the sun fade down
|
| An' I passed a stonefaced clock
|
| An' I thought my time ain’t long
|
| I thought my time ain’t long
|
| My drug an' booze day’s gone
|
| I rise an' shine at dawn
|
| How come my time ain’t long?
|
| My wife just laughed at me
|
| An' kept on ironing clothes
|
| What will an' will not be
|
| She said there’s no one knows
|
| But if she’s got ESP
|
| Well, how come she lives down there?
|
| It just sounds like bull to me
|
| She ain’t no millionaire
|
| Who says your time ain’t long?
|
| Who says your time ain’t long?
|
| You keep your seatbelt on
|
| You feel your heart beat strong
|
| Who says your time ain’t long?
|
| Who says your time ain’t long?
|
| Who says your time ain’t long?
|
| Your drug an' booze day’s gone
|
| You rise an' shine at dawn
|
| Who says your time ain’t long?
|
| You ain’t done no one wrong
|
| You’ve got a fine, safe home
|
| Who says your time ain’t long? |
