Pick Up The Tempo

Won't you pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

The singer ain't singing

And the drummer's been draggin' too long

And time will take care of itself

So just leave time alone

And pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

Now people are saying

That time'll take care of people like me

That I'm living too fast

And they say that I can't last much longer

But how little they see

That their thoughts of me is my Savior

And how little they know

That the beat ought to go a little faster

So won't you pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

The singer ain't singing

And the drummer's been draggin' too long

Now time will take care of itself

So just leave time alone

And pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

Now I'm wild and I'm mean

I'm creating a scene, I'm goin' crazy

Well, 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 gatherin' a crowd and I like gravy

'Bout half off the wall

But I learned it all from my baby

So won't you pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

The singer ain't singing

And the drummer's been draggin' too long

Now time will take care of itself

So just leave time alone

And pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

Aey, won't you pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

Aey, won't you pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home
