W. Nelson      People are saying that times take care   Of people like me   And that I'm living too fast and they say I won't last   Much longer   But little they see that their thoughts of me   Is my savior   And little they know the beat ought to go   A little faster      So pick up the tempo   Pick up the tempo      So pick up the tempo just a little bit   And take it on home   The singer ain't singing   And the drummer's been draggin'   Too long   Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone   And pick up the tempo just a little   And take it on home      I'm wild and I'm mean, I'm creating 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 loud and I'm creatin' a crowd   And I like rabies   I'm 'bout half off the wall but I learned it all   In the Navy      So pick up the tempo   Pick up the tempo   So pick up the tempo   And take it on home
