It's About Time

lyrics by Ronny Criss             Copyright 2006

In a rusted car south of Monticello

On a stretch of road as flat as they roll

You're cruising now, you're making good time

Be in Paducah before you know

Where you’ve been and where you’re going
They’re as related as the sun and the moon
You’ve reached the hills now twilight’s escaping
To Music City with a dream or two

Oh you're gonna ride these white lines swiftly
And above your head there’s a darken sea of diamonds shimmering

Now you can feel your heart beating just a little faster
As 24 turns into 65
Cause your life has opened a whole new chapter
And things can change in the blink of an eye

Oh you're gonna ride these white lines swiftly
And in the air you can hear them singing
And above your head there’s a darken sea of diamonds shimmering

And It's about time. And It's about time, And It's about time
to make a little noise.
And It's about time. And It's about time, And It's about time
to make a little noise.

So you say to this pretty bartender, “ How ‘bout a drink.”
She replies, “Do you like it from the well or the shelf?”
She reaches for the bourbon and says, “What brings you to town?”
You say, “Well honey, same thing as everybody else!”

Oh you're gonna ride these white lines swiftly
And in the air you can hear them singing
And it's about time you cash in these dreams you've been dreaming
And all around you there are stars that are bright and shimmering

And It's about time. And It's about time, And It's about time
to make a little noise.
And It's about time. And It's about time, And It's about time
to make a little noise.
