Carter
Minutes and hours keep on tickin' past
The moves you make today could be your last. 
If you're still gambling with, what ain't yours, 
If I were you I wouldn't feel that good. *
Well it's the same thing everywhere I go 
The same old story, it don't take long to show, oh no 
Do you think that I can't see through your veil
Well try to realize you feel your pain
You find it telling people, what's to gain?
Watch out that it won't blow up in your face 
Well it's the same thing everywhere I go 
The same old story, it don't take long to show, oh no 
Give what you can 
Take what you need, after the harvest 
You must plant a seed
Take what comes 
Sunshine or rain don't waste your time 
It won't come again 
Ah, sisters brothers, friends and others, passing through my days 
Give 'em time to remind, in so many ways 
Just like a sparrow, not colorful nor beautiful 
You can drown me in your song 
Like the sun in the rain, oh yea 
Minutes and hours they don't make up the time
That you spend from the day your born until you die 
Your time is made up from the things that you do 
Some people live a life well that's up to you 
Well it's the same thing everywhere I go 
The same old story, it don't take long to show, oh no
