All the Time in the World Songtext

von John Fullbright

Are you gonna stop?
And I said, "No sir, no sir,"
I got a little bit of time to go.
Where you gonna go, sir?
Up sir, up sir, up to the middle
Of a mountain road.

Where you gonna go
When you get there, get there?
I'm goin' go, and see my gal.
What's she gonna say
When she see you, see you?
She goin' say, Boy,
It's been a long while.

Whoa, whoa whoa,
Whoa, whoa whoa,
I got all the time in the world.

[harmonica solo]

Crawled in a hole
In a mountain, mountain,
Trying to get away from the wind and rain.
Climbed out, and
Everybody's shoutin', shoutin',
Everybody talkin' 'bout their own damn pain.

Moses was a man
Of action, action.
He slapped the water and it turned to blood.
Ain't no kind of leavin
For reaction, no sir,
I know when to leave when the leavin's good.

Whoa, whoa whoa,
Whoa, whoa whoa,
I got all the time in the world.

[guitar solo]

Well, I was never any kind
Of scholar, no sir,
Graduated school with a 2.0.
I told everybody
I was leavin', "See you,"
Then I realized I ain't go no place to go.

Central Oklahoma
Is my land, it's my country,
Eastern Oklahoma is a beautiful sight.
Nothern Oklahoma
Might as well be Kansas,
Never go to Southern Oklahoma at night.

Whoa, whoa whoa,
Whoa, whoa whoa,
I got all the time in the world.

[harmonica solo]

Some peoples' lives
Are useless, useless,
They're tryin' all the time to fill another man's shoes.
Everybody else
Is ruthless, ruthless,
Try to find a man, and a man'll lose.

Maybe I will try
To be a rich man, rich man,
Build me a house that I can't be found.
Maybe I will try to try
To stay a poor man, poor man
Tryin' to make a livin' off the song and sound.

Whoa, whoa whoa,
Whoa, whoa whoa,
I got all the time in the world.
