Tom T. Hall Ain't Got The Time lyrics

I can tell your heart's been broken in two
You are looking for a shoulder
I've found out that other people's tears
Just seem to make me older

I'd like to help with your broken heart
Really I think it's a crime
But I ain't got the time, ain't got the time

All that I can give you is a well-wish
I hate to be that way, I know that it's selfish
But baby I've got a destiny to meet
And I know it's on down the line
Ain't got the time, ain't got the time

I can tell that you've been hurt pretty bad

You need someone to cry to
You're like a bird with a broken wing
And you need someplace to fly to

But I've found out from life
That I can't live nobody's but mine
Ain't got the time, ain't got the time

All that I can give you is a well-wish
I hate to be that way, I know that it's selfish
But baby I've got a destiny to meet
And I know it's on down the line
Ain't got the time, ain't got the time
