Molly Hatchet Time Keeps Slipping Away lyrics

It started out baby, just like a dream
Like teenage romance, we were head over heels
I can't read the future to tell what was in store
While I was sleepin', she was all out the door

I can't believe that she said, I was her man
And she was my baby, that's when the trouble began
And trouble follows you around all night and day
Now that I know we'll go our separate ways

Don't let the screen door hit ya or the good Lord split ya
'Cause time keeps tickin' away
Don't let the screen door hit ya or the good Lord split ya
'Cause time keeps tickin' away

What happened to the promise we made
For better, for worse, I think that we both shared
We try to work it out and stay together

Then I found out, it was all spoken mirrors

If you can't stand the heat don't look in my direction
Just leave the keys and take your obsession
While the show you put on, yeah, it's quite a disgrace
Your number's on the bedroom wall, say, who wants a date?

Don't let the screen door hit ya or the good Lord split ya
'Cause time keeps tickin' away
Don't let the screen door hit ya where the good Lord split ya
'Cause time keeps tickin' away

'Cause time keeps tickin'
Time keeps tickin'
Time keeps tickin' away
