I Ain’t Got Time to Kill

[Verse 1]
I used to wake up in the morning
I used to lay to rest in style
But then I couldn't recall a single thing
That made the day worthwile
I used to daydream all the morning
And dream on through the day
Till I heard a wise man preaching
And these are the words he’d say

[Chorus]
I ain't got time to kill in the morning
I ain't got time to kill in the day
I ain’t got time to kill nobody, Lord
Or lead a good friend astray
I just got a little time in the morning
Just got a little time through the day
I just got enough time to live out my life
And live it in every way

[Verse 2]
I used to yearn for gold and riches
And a masterpiece for the wall
But the more I got the more I craved
So it doesn't make sense at all
So I took out the book of Wisdom
Which has never been so true
And right before my eyes
Was what was meant for me and you

[Chorus]
I ain't got time to kill in the morning
I ain't got time to kill in the day
I ain't got time to kill nobody, Lord
Or lead a good friend astray
I just got a little time in the morning
Just got a little time through the day
I just got enough time to live out my life
And live it in every way

[Verse 3]
I remember Mr. Clemens
As he sailed around the bend
He said, "All men will be dreamers
And all dreamers will be men."
Course I still dream every now and then
But when I do it don't take long
I just dream about a big round world
Where everyone sings their song

[Chorus]
I ain't got time to kill in the morning
I ain't got time to kill in the day
I ain’t got time to kill nobody, Lord
Or lead a good friend astray
I just got a little time in the morning
Just got a little time through the day
I just got enough time to live out my life
And live it in every way
