(Clint Black/Hayden Nicholas)      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      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, and 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   And 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      If we had an hour glass 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 'til 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 and 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   And 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 and 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   And 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   No time to kill   No time to kill
