NO MORE TIME
(Rose Maddox - D. Rose)
MADDOX BROTHERS & ROSE (Columbia 21405, 1955)

Now you say there stands a glass
That will dim out all your past
You say it's the first one today
Just look down the bar and you will see
What someday you're gonna be
Just an old man that's gonna drink his life away

No more time (no more time) - No more time (no more time)
There ain't no use for you to sit around and whine
No more time (no more time) - No more time (no more time)
You're gonna wake up and find you got no more time
And wonder why ...

Sittin' at the bar braggin' all day
That you're drinkin' your troubles away
Think about a loved one sittin' at home all alone
Same old troubles are makin' her blue
'Cause she's married now to you
All she can do is wait for you by the phone

One of these days you're gonna find that you got no more time
You're gonna wake up and find that you've been left behind
You're gonna find out some sweet day
That that wrinkle is here to stay
All you got left is a whole lot of troubles on your mind
