Faron Young - Your Time's Comin Lyrics
(Kris Kristofferson - Shel Silverstein)Well, I knew she belongedTo someone else at the timeBut lonely look in womenAre a weakness of mine.So I bought all she said about the loveHe never gave herAnd figured I just love her someAnd do us both a favor.Just as I got up to leaveHe walked through the doorAnd I guess I thought he'd be surprisedBut he looked at me as if to sayHe's been there beforeAnd he offered me these words to the wise.He said, you know she's a cheater sonBut you believe that you're the oneWho's got a lot of what it takes to change herAnd I know now that you can't get herYou ain't much but that don't matterNothing suits her better than a stranger.And the stranger man the betterAnd the chances are she'll set herEyes on you the next time she goes slummin'So you sit back and wait your turn, boyYou got lots of times to learn, boyCool it while you can, your time's comin'.--- Instrumental ---Well, it happens that in timeIt happened just like he saidAnd soon enough her shoesWere settin' under my bed.And I'll confess I did my bestTo prove that man had liedBut nothing short of suicideCould keep her satisfied.So buddy, losing her to youWas just a matter of timeAnd it's her time for finding something newNothing I can say is gonnaMake you change your mindSo I'll just give the same advice to you.You know she's a cheater sonBut you believe that you're the oneWho's got a lot of what it takes to change herAnd I know now that you can't get herYou ain't much but that don't matterNothing suits her better than a stranger.And the stranger man the betterAnd the chances are she'll set herEyes on you the next time she goes slummin'So you sit back and wait your turn, boyYou got lots of times to learn, boyCool it while you can, your time's comin'.I said cool it while you can'Cause your time's comin'...
