Ain't Wastin Time No More (The Allman Brothers cover)

from The NOLA Treblemakers: Going Late! (2024 November 25) (2:47)

Last Sunday morning the sunshine felt like rain
The week before they all seemed the same
With the help of all my true friends, I come to realize
I still had two strong legs and even wings to fly

You know I ain't a-wastin time no more
Cuz time goes by like hurricanes and faster things

Lord, Lord, Miss Sally, why are you cryin
Been around here three long days lookin like you're dyin
Just step yourself outside, look up at the stars above
Go on downtown baby, find you somebody to love

But, meanwhile I ain't a-wastin time no more
Cuz time goes by like pouring rain and much faster things

You don't need no gypsy to tell you why
You can't let one precious day slip by
Look outside yourself and if you don't see what you want maybe sometimes then you don't
But leave your mind alone and just get high

Well by and by, way after many years are gone
And all the war freaks die off, leavin us alone
We'll raise our station in the peaceful way we can
It's up to you and me brother, try and try again

So hear us now, we ain't a-wastin time no more
Cuz time goes by like hurricanes runnin after a subway train
Don't forget the pouring rain
