Time is Everything

I’d be lying if I told you that thought ain’t ever crossed my mind
Of you calling from some backroom, a jukebox playing you saying everything is fine
Well dreaming ain’t the same since these thoughts started turning in my head
Of leaving and of crying, of me grieving and you lying
I know I knew from every word you ever said

You’ve been down in Asheville fooling ‘round dusk ‘til dawn
I’ve been tossing and turning restless all night long
You’ve been trying to tell me no one knows what the years will bring
I’ve been trying to tell you, time is everything

Well we’ve been to the east and we’ve been all over the west
Past towns of broken memories, faded love, and words I wish you’d never said
Well who’d have thought you’d find someone to bring you so low
Now every word’s a trial, every step another mile
Ain’t talking straight enough for me to ever know

You’ve been down in Asheville fooling ‘round dusk ‘til dawn
I’ve been tossing and turning restless all night long
You’ve been trying to tell me no one knows what the years will bring
I’ve been trying to tell you time is everything

This was born and it’ll die with that house at the end of the block
Where you first held me tight then held another for a night
You crossed lines but they were just drawn here in chalk

You’ve been down in Asheville fooling ‘round dusk ‘til dawn
I’ve been tossing and turning restless all night long
You’ve been trying to tell me no one knows what the years will bring
I’ve been trying to tell you, time is everything
