Pick Up the Tempo (Remastered) - Waylon Jennings/Willie Nelson

Some people are saying that time will

Take care of people like me

That I'm livin' too fast and they say

I can't last too much longer

But little they see that

Their thoughts of me is my saviour

And little they know

That the beat oughta go just a little faster

So pick up the tempo

Just a little and take it on home

The singer ain't singin'

And the drummer's been draggin' too long

Time will take care of itself

So just leave time alone

And pick up the tempo

Just a little and take it on home

Well I'm wild and I'm mean

And I'm creatin' a scene I'm goin' crazy

Well I'm good and I'm bad

And I'm happy and I'm sad

And I'm lazy

I'm quiet and I'm loud

And I'm gatherin' a crowd

And I like gravy

About half off the wall

But I learned it all in the Navy

So pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

The singer ain't singin'

And the drummer's been draggin' too long

Time will take care of itself

So just leave time alone

And pick up the tempo

Just a little and take it on home

Yeah pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home
