Lyrics
TIME TO BURN
Why don’t you tell me a little bit about you?
Life’s a book and the pages turn
I’ll keep the drinks coming while we talk and smile, girl
The night is young and we’ve got time to burn
We’ve got time to burn and nowhere to go
The bar closes down at two, I know
I’m sure there’s a lot we both can learn
The night is young and we’ve got time to burn
It’s hard to believe that you’ve had five children
Even harder knowing you’re a grandma too
I never would have guessed that you’re forty-five, girl
There’s something in the water taking care of you
We’ve got time to burn and nowhere to go
The bar closes down at two, I know
I’m sure there’s a lot we both can learn
The night is young and we’ve got time to burn
Are you thinking that this has been a good time?
Are you thinking that we should do this again?
I’ll stay on board if this train keeps rolling
Just tell me where and tell me when
We’ve got time to burn and nowhere to go
The bar closes down at two, I know
I’m sure there’s a lot we both can learn
The night is young and we’ve got time to burn
The night is young and we’ve got time to burn…
The night is young and we’ve got time…
Time to burn
