My poor Mom was in labor 12 hours and I was born around 6:00 AM   For the time it took her to bring me in this world, you'd've thought the girl was gonna have twins   I'd be a day older if that doctor hadn't told her I'd be better off if I came late   She said fine and that gave him plenty of time to get in 18 holes that day      Chorus:   Yeah time, time, everything takes time   From grabbin' hold of life to turnin' it loose   And in the time that went by while I sang you those lines   We all lost a minute or two      There's a 15 year old ridin' shotgun down the road, he can't wait to get behind the wheel   And a grandma in the kitchen washin' dishes and wishin' she still knew how 16 feels   Every year we get older, all the months seem shorter, kinda like weeks, weeks seem like days   Yeah, the hours fly by when you're havin' a good time, but they don't stand still when you ain't      Repeat Chorus      Time only moves forward every minute leanin' towards that day   Our hair is gone or gray   We all make it and we use it, we waste it and abuse it   While the clock just laughs in our face      Repeat Chorus      Yeah time, time, we got nothin' but time   And there ain't a dad-gum thing about it we can do   And in the time that went by while I sang you those lines   We lost another minute or two   So, let's not lose another minute or two
