V1
When I was young - I'd take the long way
Nothin' on my mind -- lettin' go of ev'rythin'
Hop a sidewalk crack - Swing around a pole just for laughs
Find new ways to go - See what change would bring
Make a wish n' talk about dreams
N' ma just grinned -- Try to hold the laughter in - Ch
Ch
She'd say, boy, ya' just take your time
'Cause this whole world's just a flyin'
Pretty soon it'll fly on past
So don't you let it slip on by
'Cause so little of it lasts
It's just fine - this is your time - V2/Br/Out

Now I'm racin' - chasin' - deadlines from behind
For a pot of gold - to have when I'm old
Yeah, well, I'm gettin' older - But that gold ain't closer
They say I look tired -- always hard-wired -
Movin' like a rocket - To fill my desires -
Go-in' way - way too fast -- To see what I'm leavin' back - Ch
Br
Oh, I've gotta take my time
Make room for enjoyin' life
Take the time to look inside
Take the time for someone else
Find the meanin' of true wealth
Yeah, it's just fine - - This is your time - Ch
