No Time To Kill

Clint Black No Time To Kill Lyrics
1.A Bad Goodbye

I've been bound to leave you, we've known that for awhile
I'm sure it's something i can't do if i can't leave you with a
smile
I don't know how far i'll have to go 'til i'm sure those eyes
won't cry
And in my mind i've left enough to know that i can't leave you
With a bad goodbyegoodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none
I'm still bound to leave you, i surely don't know how
My heart won't let me put you through
What my mind says should happen now
I don't know where we'll go from here, there may be no way to
fly
And the cloud i'm in just makes it all too clear that i can't
leave you
With a bad goodbye

Repeat chorus

How can we be so far between where we are and one more try
And any way i look, i've only seen that i can't leave you
With a bad goodbye


2.A Good Run Of Bad Luck

A high roller even when the chips are down
To win her over, i'd seen the tables turn around
She's ten the hard way, i can feel it in my bones
She'll be makin' my day and not another night alone
'til it's time for a windfall and not a single moment too soon
I've been too long overdue, now i'm gonna shoot the moon
I'd bet it all on a good run of bad luck
Seven come eleven and she could be mine
Luck be a lady, and i'm gonna find love comin' on the bottom
line
I've been to the table, and i've lost it all before
I'm willin' and able, always comin' back for more
Squeezin' out a thin dime 'til there's no one hanging on my arm
I've gambled on a third time, a fool will tell you it's a charm
If i'm bettin' on a loser, i'm gonna have a devil to pay
But it's the only game i know to play, it doesn't matter anyway

Repeat chorus twice


3.Half The Man

She's every reason i take so much work on
And every reason i take so much time at home
And every single reason why i'm so much stronger
And every reason i could never be alone
Look at me, you'll see who i've found
I'm beside myself whenever she's around
Without her, you'd see a different man
It's what she makes of me, she's half the man i am
When the rivers all run dry, she finds the water
And when everything is dark, she finds the light
And when it's time to fly, she's flying with me
With her on the wing, we balance out just right

Repeat chorus

I'm what she's made of me, she's half the man i am


4.Happiness Alone


5.I'll Take Texas


6.No Time To Kill

There's no time to kill between the cradle and the grave
Father time still takes a toll on every minute that you save
Legal tender's never gonna change the number on your days
The highest cost of livin's dyin', that's one everybody pays
So have it spent before you get the bill, there's no time to
kill
If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now
Would we spend tomorrow's yesterdays and make it last somehow
Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to
play
And see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every
day
The grass is green on both sides of the hill, there's no time to
kill
No time to kill, even i've said it and probably always will
But i can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry i've been
in
And quit this work and worry lookin' back at where i've been
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill
If we had an hour glass to watch each one go by
Or a bell to mark each one to pass, we'd see just how they fly
Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold
Or would we never know the fortunes that we had 'til we grow old
And do we just keep killin' time until there's no time to kill

Repeat chorus twice
No time to kill
No time to kill
No time to kill


7.State Of Mind

Got a big leather suitcase, all i own's inside
Seems i've been walkin' for days, can't even bum a ride
Try steppin' to a tune, with the rhythm of a walkin' man
Mind drifts like a big balloon out of my situation at hand
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
Walkin' down a lonely highway not feelin' alone
Thinkin' back when things went my way and not the road i'm on
Well, i've been down a time or two, but it never lasted long
I can always make it through on a wing and a prayer and a song
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
It can make a right from a wrong, it can make you fall in love
It can get you singin' along
Chase the clouds away and make the sun shine above
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind


8.Thinkin' Again


9.Tuckered Out
