Waylon Jennings Pick Up the Tempo lyrics

Some people are saying that time
Will take care of people like me
That I'm living too fast
And they say that I can't last much longer

But little they see
That their thoughts of me is my savior
Little they know
I might live forever

So pick up the tempo just a little
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
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, 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
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
Pick up the tempo just a little
Take it on home

Yeah, pick up the tempo just a little
And take it on home
