Pick Up The Tempo Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(Willie Nelson) 

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 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. 

Yeah, pick up the tempo just a little 

And take it on home...
