Текст песни Pick Up The Tempo - Acoustic - Waylon Jennings , Kris Kristofferson , Willie Nelson , Highwaymen , Johnny Cash

Some people say
It's time to take care of people like me.
That I'm livin' too fast
And they say I can't last much longer

Little they see
That their thoughts of me as my saviour,
Little do they know
That the beat ought to go a little bit faster

So let's pick up the tempo just a little
And take it on home (Cowboy)
The singer ain't singin'
And the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time will take care of itself
So just leave time alone
Pick up the tempo just a little
And take it on home.

I'm wild and I'm mean
I'm creatin' a scene and I'm gone crazy
I'm good and I'm bad
I'm happy and I'm sad and I'm lazy
I'm quiet and I'm loud
And I'm gatherin' a crowd. I like gravy
I'm about half off the wall
But I learned it all in the Navy

Lets pick up the tempo just a little
And take it on home (Yeah)
The singer ain't singin'
And the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time will take care of itself
So just leave time alone
Pick up the tempo just a little
And take it on home
Take it on home
