Pick Up the Tempo - Highwaymen Lyrics


Nelson:Some people say,It's time to take care of people like me.That I'm livin' too fast,And they say I can't last much longer.Little they see,That their thoughts of me as my saviour,Little do they know,That the beat ought to go a little bit faster.So let's pick up the tempo just a little,And take it on home.(Cowboy.)The singer ain't singin',And the drummer's been draggin' too long.Time will take care of itself,So just leave time alone.Pick up the tempo just a little,And take it on home.Willie plays the wrong note on the guitar and tells himself it should be a C." Others laugh.I'm wild and I'm mean,I'm creatin' a scene and I'm gone crazy.I'm good and I'm bad,I'm happy and I'm sad and I'm lazy.I'm quiet and I'm loud,And I'm gatherin' a crowd. I like gravy.I'm about half off the wall,But I learned it all in the Navy.(Laughing)Waylon and others join in:Lets pick up the tempo just a little,And take it on home. (Yeah.)The singer ain't singin',And the drummer's been draggin' too long.Time will take care of itself,So just leave time alone.Pick up the tempo just a little,And take it on home.Take it on home.
