[Verse 1]
A banker and a farmer discuss the bottom line
It ain't rained and all the crops are dying on the vine
Give me more time, you gotta give me more time

[Verse 2]
That farm has been in my family going on a hundred years
We pulled through hard times before with blood, sweat and, tears
Give me more time. I need more time
Oh, what would he give for a little more time?

[Verse 3]
Two lovers at a table, candlelight and wine
One's looking for an answer the other one can't find
Give me more time, you gotta give me more time

[Verse 4]
She says you know I love you, but my heart's in a bind
Afraid you're gonna leave me if I don't make up my mind
Give me more time, I gotta have more time

[Bridge]
Some have barely any, some too much on their hands
Some would give anything to have it back again

[Verse 5]
The patient and his doctor meet behind closed doors
You're kidding me, how could this be? I'm only twenty-four
Give me more time, you gotta give me more time
Give me more time
