Pick Up The Tempo

Some people are saying that time take care

Of people like me

And I'm living too fast Lord you know I can't last

Too much longer

But little they see that their thoughts of me

Is my savior

And little they know the beat ought to go

Just a little faster

So pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

The singer ain't singing

And the drummer's been drinkin'

Too long

Time will take care of itself so 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 goin' crazy

I'm good and I'm bad, I'm happy I'm sad

And I'm lazy

I'm quiet and I'm loud and I'm gatherin' a crowd

Like crazy

I'm 'bout half off the wall but I learned it all

In the Navy

So pick up the tempo

Just a little bit

Take it on home

The singer ain't singing

And the drummer's been drinkin'

Too long

Time will take care of itself so leave time alone

And pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

And pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home
