Jerry Jeff Walker - Very Short Time Lyrics
Keith SykesChorus:It's easy to see that we've just a very short timeSo why don't we just go to the hill and climbWe'll go up just as high as John T. Booker got lowYeah, singin' the songs that don't rhymeLaughin' at the minutes that fall behind, in a very short timeYeah, a tadpole's cuter than a topwater ever could beAnd I betcha neither one ever had a lifeguard like meAin't nobody drowned since I got here, I been lookin' after tadpolesWatchin' their legs that will grow, wonderin' where they're gonna goIn a very short timeWell, it's easy to see that, we've just a very short timeYeah, nobody thinks about it until it's very far behindThen they got to know where every second has goneThey keep singin' them songs that do rhymeCarryin' those pennies that refuse to shineCryin' for the minutes that fell behind in a very short timeChorus
