[Verse 1]
Maybe the jukebox can heal up a heartache
But I'd go into debt
Maybe the whiskey can wipe out a memory
But it only hurts my head
Maybe some dancin' will pick me up
But the best songs always ends
Now I'm down to tellin' myself
Time is a fool's best friend
[Chorus]
Doctor Time, have mercy on me
Don't wait too long to set me free
Doctor Time, I'm countin' on you
'Cause you're the only one
Who can pull me through
[Verse 2]
Friends tell me hard work can fill up the hours
It don't fill this bed
Quarter says a phone call can bring forgiveness
She'd hang up again
Gotta get me somethin' to forget her
Every time I lay down
There ain't a night goes by I don't wish
I'd wake up a year from now
[Chorus]
Doctor Time, have mercy on me
Don't wait too long to set me free
Doctor Time, I'm countin' on you
'Cause you're the only one
Who can pull me through
[Bridge]
Time, tell the truth
You're the only one I trust
How many weeks until I leave
This heartache in the dust?
[Chorus]
Doctor Time, have mercy on me
Don't wait too long to set me free
Doctor Time, I'm countin' on you
'Cause you're the only one
Who can pull me through
'Cause you're the only one
Who can pull me through
