[Verse 1]
Thirty has turned into forty
Another year has come and gone
I made plans to do big things
I resolved to finally right the wrongs
I had dreams of a good life
Maybe even find me a wife
Travel with me though I'm single and free
'Cause time won't take its time with me

[Verse 2]
I got on that 'A' train this mornin'
Prob'ly take the bus home later
Been wastin' away at this old job
Just to get a little food on my plate
And one last stop at the liquor store
Before I tuck my blues in tonight
Trouble my friend is I'm at a dead end
And time won't take its time with me

[Bridge]
Sure is an awful kind of feelin'
When your bank account's always low
But I don't plan to start out stealin'
So I earn a few lines in my brow
I ain't getting any younger
And I'm seeing family less and less
Trouble in mind and the world is unkind
And time won't take its time with me
[Repeat Bridge]
Sure is an awful kind of feelin'
When your bank account is always low
But I don't plan to start out stealin'
So I earn a few lines in my brow
I ain't getting any younger
I'm seeing family less and less
Trouble in mind and the world is unkind
And time won't take its time with me
