Pick Up the Tempo

Pick Up the Tempo - Robert Earl Keen

Lyrics by：Willie Nelson

Composed by：Willie Nelson

People are saying that time

Will take care of people like me

I'm living too fast

They say I can't last much longer

But little they see

Their thoughts of me are my savior

And little they know

That the beat oughta go just a little faster

So pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

The singer ain't singin'

And the drummer's been draggin' too long

Time'll take care of itself

So just leave time alone

Pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

Well I'm wild and I'm mean

I'm creatin' a scene I'm goin' crazy

I'm good and I'm bad

I'm happy and sad and I'm lazy

I'm quiet and I'm loud

And I'm gatherin' a crowd I like gravy

About half off the wall

But I learned it all in the Navy

So pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

The singer ain't singin'

And the drummer's been draggin' too long

Time'll take care of itself

So just leave time alone

And pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

Oh man

All right

Thank you Bruce

That's a good one
