Pick Up the Tempo (Acoustic Demo) Lyrics
(Willie Nelson)
Some people are saying that time will take care of people like me
That I'm livin' too fast and they say, I can't last that much longer
But little they see that their thoughts of me is my Saviour
And little they know that the beat ought to go a little bit faster
So lets pick up the tempo just a little and take it all on home, Cowboy
The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time will take care of itself, so just leave time alone
And pick up the tempo just a little and take it all on home
Well I'm - sick - well I'm wild
And I'm mean I'm creatin' a scene and I'm goin' crazy
I'm good and I'm bad and I'm happy and I'm sad and I'm lazy
I'm quiet and I'm loud and I'm gatherin' a crowd and I like gravy
I'm about half off the wall but I learned it all in the Navy
Lets pick up the tempo just a little and take it all on home
The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time will take care of itself, so just leave time alone
Pick up the tempo just a little and take it all on home
Take it all on home (Hey, that's good - that's good)
