作曲 : Nelson Won't you pick up the tempo just a little And take it on home The singer ain't singin' And the drummers been draggin' too long And time will take care of itself So just leave time alone Yeah, and pick up the tempo just a little And take it on home Now people are sayin' that time will take care of people like me That I'm movin' too fast and they say that I can't last much longer But how little they see that their thoughts of me... And how little they know that the beat oughta go a little faster So won't you pick up the tempo just a little And take it on home The singer ain't singin' And the drummers been draggin' too long And time will take care of itself So just leave time alone Yeah, and pick up the tempo just a little And take it on home Now I'm wild and I'm mean And I'm creatin' a scene like I'm crazy Well I'm good and I'm bad And I'm happy and I'm sad and I'm lazy I'm quiet and I'm loud And I'm gatherin' a crowd So won't you pick up the tempo just a little And take it on home The singer ain't singin' And the drummers been draggin' too long And time will take care of itself So just leave time alone And pick up the tempo just a little And take it on home Won't you pick up the tempo just a little And take it on home Yeah, won't you pick up the tempo just a little And take it on home
