Bobby Pinson Time Well Spent Lyrics

Time Well Spent Lyrics

(Bobby Pinson/ Kris Bergsnes/ Jim McCormick)



That '73 Monte Carlo

Had a carload

Of Schlitz and innocence

Half a pack of daddy's cigarettes

And a cassette of Jimi Hendrix

We parked beside, 

The railroad tracks

Kicked back and wondered what life would be life if we were presidents

And let another day fade away, 

Wasting time well spent



A million miles of dirt road dust

Learning love and loving lust

Tasting life as it came to us 

On a dead end road that had no end

Wishing we could make time fly

Not knowing it was flying by

While we were making plans that didn't make sense

Wasting time, wasting time, waisting time well spent



She matched my tuxedo to a "T"

In those pictures on my floor

As I stared at me, 

I could finally see

What she saw when she said she couldn't see me anymore

But I'll never forget the night 

We parked that prom night ride on the side of the road we'd never been

And let another day fade away,

Wasting time well spent



A million miles of dirt road dust

Learning love and loving lust

Tasting life as it came to us 

On a dead end road that had no end

Wishing we could make time fly

Not knowing it was flying by

While we were making plans that didn't make sense

Wasting time, wasting time, waisting time well spent



A bittersweet what might have been

Comes to mind now and then

Makes me wanna go back again

And waste some time

Waste some time, waste some 

Time well spent
