Running Out of Time with the Blues

Well, you woke up this mornin'

Shakin' with sweat

Hungry for the things that ya can't have yet

You better get yourself together

You're runnin' outta time with the blues

You're cryin' diamond teardrops

Sobbin' dollars and change

That clock is there tickin'

While you're rattlin' your brains

Get out the way and make it pay

You're runnin' outta time with the blues

Well, time is money and money talks

Clock keeps tickin' while the bullshit walks

But all you ever seem to hear time or money say is goodbye

While the door seems like it's closin'

Better state your case

Before Ol' Father Time slams it right in your face

So stick your foot out, don't get put out

You're runnin' outta time with the blues

Sometimes it feels like the world is on hold

And every day feels like you're goin' uphill

But pretty soon you're on top lookin' down until

You're just a-movin' along, you ain't botherin' no one

But there's a block in the road just to spoil your fun

But don't ya sweat it

Just forget it

'Cause you're runnin' outta time with the blues
