"Running Out Of Time With The Blues" lyrics

"Running Out Of Time With The Blues"

Well, you woke up this mornin'
Shakin' with sweat
Hungry for the things that ya can't have yet
You better get yourself together
You're runnin' outta time with the blues

You're cryin' diamond teardrops
Sobbin' dollars and change
That clock is there tickin'
While you're rattlin' your brains
Get out the way and make it pay
You're runnin' outta time with the blues

Well, time is money and money talks
Clock keeps tickin' while the bullshit walks
But all you ever seem to hear time or money say is goodbye

While the door seems like it's closin'
Better state your case
Before Ol' Father Time slams it right in your face
So stick your foot out, don't get put out
You're runnin' outta time with the blues

Sometimes it feels like the world is on hold
And every day feels like you're goin' uphill
But pretty soon you're on top lookin' down until

You're just a-movin' along, you ain't botherin' no one
But there's a block in the road just to spoil your fun
But don't ya sweat it
Just forget it
'Cause you're runnin' outta time with the blues
