Pick Up the Tempo - Waylon Jennings

Some people are saying that time

Will take care of people like me

That I’m living too fast

And they say I can’t last much longer

But little they see

That their thoughts of me is my savior

And little they know

I might live forever

So pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

The singer ain’t singing

And the drummer’s been dragging too long

Time’ll 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 going crazy

I’m good and I’m bad

And I’m happy and sad and I’m lazy

I’m quiet and I’m loud

And I’m gathering a crowd and I like gravy

About half off the wall

But I learned it all in the Navy

Yeah, pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home…
