I woke up late
With my boots by the bed
Coffee gone cold
And the day already dead
Mama said, baby
You can't borrow time
It slips through your hands
Like smoke through pine
Tick by tick
It takes its share
One more hour
And it ain't there
I keep running
It keeps its pace
Same old shadow
Same hard face
Time slip away
Time slip away
I beg it to stay
It slip away
Time slip away
Time Time slip away
I call its name
It slip away
I spent my wages
On a promise and a train
Watched that window
Wash out in the rain
Every goodbye
Had a nail in it
Every sweet lie
Had a blade in it
Tick by tick
It takes its share
One more hour
And it ain't there
I keep holding
It cuts my grip
Old man time
Never slips
Time slip away
Time slip away
I beg it to stay
It slip away
Time slip away
Time Time slip away
I call its name
It slip away
I got a pocket full of yesterday
A crackled picture fading gray
If I laugh now, if I cry now
Either way, it gone somehow
Time slip away
Time slip away
I beg it to stay
It slip away
Time slip away
Time Time slip away
I call its name
It slip away
One more sip
One more ache
Muddy hourglass
Ain't nothing safe
Time slip away
Time slip away
