Pick Up The Tempo - Live in Texas - September 1974

(Willie Nelson)
 Some people are saying that time
 Will take care of people like me
 That I'm living too fast
 And they say I can't last much longer.
 But little they see
 That their thoughts of me is my saviour
 And little they know
 I might live forever.
 So pick up the tempo just a little
 And take it on home
 The singer ain't singin'
 And the drummer's been draggin' too long.
 Time'll take care of itself
 So just leave time alone
 And pick up the tempo just a little
 And take it on home.
 I'm wild and I'm mean
 I'm creatin' a scene I'm goin' crazy
 I'm good and I'm bad
 And I'm happy and sad and I'm lazy.
 I'm quiet and I'm loud
 and I'm gatherin' a crowd and I like gravy
 About half off the wall
 but I learned it all in the Navy.
 So pick up the tempo just a little
 And take it on home
 The singer ain't singin'
 And the drummer's been draggin' too long.
 Time'll take care of itself
 So just leave time alone
 And pick up the tempo just a little
 And take it on home.
 Yeah, pick up the tempo just a little
 And take it on home...
