Lyrics We've Only Got so Much Time Here - Jim Lauderdale

We've only got so much time here
Life's going by like a race
We've only got so much time here
And I hope that I'm not too late

Tomorrow will be yesterday
Another year has slipped away
Another loved one now is gone
Then you have to carry on
Learning while we're passing through
Another chance for me and you

We've only got so much time here
Life's going by like a race
We've only got so much time here
And I hope that I'm not too late

Looking back you never know
What somebody's future holds
So many let it go to waste
Everybody makes mistakes
I hope that before you leave
You'll find all the love you need

We've only got so much time here
Life's going by like a race
We've only got so much time here
And I hope that I'm not too late

We've only got so much time here
And I hope that I'm not too late
