Time (Live)
(Telluride Bluegrass Festival 2026)
Intro
Verse 1
I Was Ready To Go When I Turned 18
And My Granddad Said These Words To Me
Don't Give It Away Like I Did Mine, Son
You Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got Time
Verse 2
Well, You Work Away Your Life Chasing That Dream
It's Like Swimming Up River Trying To Get Downstream
Well, You Start Off Young And You End Up Old
When You Stand Up Straight, Just Do What You're Told
Chorus
'Cause You Can't Buy It, Steal Or Borrow
You Gotta Live For The Day Before Tomorrow
When The Big Hand Turns, The Little Hand Flies
Son, You Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got Time
Son, You Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got Time
Instrumental Break
Verse 3
Creek Bank Fishing With My Own Son
Knowing My Race Is Nearly Run
Hearing Hand-Me-Down Words From Yesterday
Son, Don't Go Giving Your Life Away
Chorus
'Cause You Can't Buy It, Steal Or Borrow
You Gotta Live For The Day Before Tomorrow
When The Big Hand Turns, The Little Hand Flies
Son, You Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got Time
Son, You Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got Time
Instrumental Break
Chorus
Well, You Can't Buy It, Steal Or Borrow
You Gotta Live For The Day Before Tomorrow
When The Big Hand Turns, The Little Hand Flies
Son, You Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got Time
Son, You Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got Time
Outro
Well, You Can't Take It With You When You Die
So You Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got Time
