"I Ain't Sold On Time" lyrics

"I Ain't Sold On Time"

I ain't sold on time, hell no, I ain't sold on time
You can scream and shout till the stars fade out
But I ain't sold on time

Well, the sun sets high and the sun sets low
It's the source of the moonlit sky
There's a star up there that can guide your road
And it ain't even alive
I sat at the table of a wise old host
He knew everything but he did not boast
He said, "Poor folks always know the most
And I ain't sold on time"

I ain't sold on time, hell no, I ain't sold on time
You can scream and shout till the stars fade out
But I ain't sold on time
Well, I ain't sold on time, hell no, I ain't sold on time
You can scream and shout till the stars fade out
But I ain't sold on time

Well, the stakes go up as the chips go down
We're foul on a factory line
I was long past ready for to leave this town
When out by the limit sign
Saw a wise old woman by a garden gate
With a sign telling people how to seal their fate
It said, "You can't be early and you can't be late
If you don't get sold on time"

I ain't sold on time, hell no, I ain't sold on time
You can scream and shout till the stars fade out
But I ain't sold on time
Well, I ain't sold on time, hell no, I ain't sold on time
You can scream and shout till the stars fade out
But I ain't sold on time

Well, I met an old dog on the road to nowhere
With wisdom in his eyes
I couldn't tell if the dog was scared
Snarling or was he smiling?
Then the dog spoke just as I got close
But it's what he said that surprised me most
"I'm the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
And I ain't sold on time"

I ain't sold on time, hell no, I ain't sold on time
You can scream and shout till the stars fade out
But I ain't sold on time
Well, I ain't sold on time, hell no, I ain't sold on time
You can scream and shout till the stars fade out
But I ain't sold on time

I ain't sold on time, hell no, I ain't sold on time
You can scream and shout till the stars fade out
But I ain't sold on time
I ain't sold on time, hell no, I ain't sold on time
You can scream and shout till the stars fade out
But I ain't sold on time

Time is a construct
