No Time To Kill

There's no time to kill between the cradle and the grave Father Time still takes a toll on every minute that you save Legal tender's never gonna change the number on your days The highest cost of livin's dyin', that's one everybody pays So have it spent before you get the bill, there's no time to kill {turnaround} If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now Would we spend tomorrow's yesterdays and make it last somehow Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to play And see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every day The grass is green on both sides of the hill, there's no time to kill No time to kill, even I've said it, probably always will But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in Quit this work and worry lookin' back at where I've been If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill {turnaround} If we had an hourglass to watch each one go by Or a bell to mark each one to pass, we'd see just how they fly Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold Or would we never know the fortunes that we had till we grow old And do we just keep killin' time until there's no time to kill No time to kill, even I've said it, probably always will But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in Quit this work and worry lookin' back at where I've been If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill No time to kill, even I've said it, probably always will But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in Quit this work and worry lookin' back at where I've been If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill No time to kill {repeat several times} {guitar solo} {guitar solo} . {guitar solo}
