Time Don't Pass By Here Lyrics - Just Us - The Marshall Tucker Band

Last night I dreamed I laid me down and died 

And lots of people came and signed their name 

But only a few of them cried 

They put me in a big pine box 

And dropped me in a deep dark hole 

And the preacher said a prayer for my lost soul 

Well they covered me up and left me there to rot 

And the guy next to me said, "Friend, I see 

That's a mighty fine box you've got" 

He seemed kind of friendly 

So I asked him the time of day 

I heard him laughing 

Then I know I heard the devil say

Time don't pass by here no more 

Just empty space and fear 

No plane to fly, no wine to pour 

Only pain to replace the tears 

You can never recall your memories 

You can never retrace the years 

You'll cry but no one hears 

'Cause time don't pass by here 

Well, I woke up 

And wiped a tear away from my eye 

And me and Mary Jane made a paper plane 

Just to see how high we'd fly 

She's just like each passing day 

She's there and then she's gone 

And I'm the one that's always gettin' stoned 

Seems it's hard for me to find where I belong 

But I think that I'm the happiest 

When I'm singing the saddest songs 

Photos 

When it comes my turn to die 

And when I'm really gone 

I hope the devil writes these words 

Upon my tombstone 

Time don't pass by here no more 

Just empty space and fear 

No plane to fly, no wine to pour 

Only pain to replace the tears 

You can never recall your memories 

You can never retrace the years 

You'll cry but no one hears 

'Cause time don't pass by here 

You'll cry but no one hears 

'Cause time don't pass by here
