Capo 2 People are saying that time'll take care of people like me And I'm living too fast, Lord you know it can't last too much longer But little they see that their thoughts of me is my savior And they really should know that the beat ought to go a little faster So pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home A singer ain't singin and the drummer's been drinkin' too long Time'll take care of itself so leave time alone Pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home Change Key to I'm wild and I'm mean, and 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, gatherin' a crowd and I like gravy '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 A singer ain't singin and the drummer's been drinkin' too long Time'll take care of itself so leave time alone Pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home Pick up the tempo just a little, take it on home
