Jeff Coltrec - Father Keeping Time

"Father Keeping Time"


The Last Call Bar lured me in

good country songs and my taste for gin

The band leader was an old man on the bass

Gray hair on his head and all over his face

Reminding me of Ol Father Time

but his groove was perfect on rhythm and rhymes

So a slight variation of this name we all know

"Father Keeping Time" for El Dorado


Chorus

Father keeping time for El Dorado

Everyone loves to hear there country shows

They dance all night and don't cry in there beer

Every ones happy with Father Keeping Time here


Verse 2 shorter


Many years on the Opry perfected his trade

But now he stays happy on this bar room stage

His bass is his secret to stay feeling young

Father Keeping Time to your song being sung

Repeat Chorus
