Lyrics

Keep me stable, keep me humble
Keep me in my place
And I will try to satisfy
And never show my face
Texas is a trial, it ain't a state of grace
But I got time
Who could ask for more?
I got time to spend
I'll spend it all for sure
This is where it starts, it ends in Baltimore
Well, 40 years of sweatin' tears
Have taught her all she knows
About the Lord above, endless love
She ain't got much to show
It's all inside information based on need to know
But she's got time
She spends it as she please
She's got time to spend
She spent it on her knees
And softly saved my soul, god, that was hard on me
My cousin Colin, rock and rollin'
Always been the same
God knows, the times he's tried to change inside
And only changed his name
And never found as sweet a sound as Pontchartrain
But he's got time
It ain't standin' still
He's got time to spend
He's ain't got time to kill
He's got no sense of time, I swear he never will
Well, my old man could never stand
The thought of growin' old
And now he dances with the bar girls
And he's way too hot to hold
There ain't no talkin' to him when he's on a roll
But he had time
Gave a lot to me
I paid for some of it
But I admit, most of it was free
That used to drive me crazy, now I let it be
But I got time
Who could ask for more?
I got time to spend
I'll spend it all for sure
This is where it starts, it ends in Baltimore
This is where it starts, it ends in Baltimore
