Well there ain't no time to let that gun by shy babe
There ain't no time to live up to the lie babe
There ain't no time to let the well run dry babe
There's far too many things to do
Before the day is through

Well there ain't no way of pushing back the clock babe
There ain't no way to make the bad man stop babe
There ain't no time to holler out until your face turns blue
Because there's far too many things to do
Before the day is through
Well there ain't no time

Purple mountain's majesty has turned all black and blue
The shots that fired up the hill
They're headed right for you
There ain't not time to look me in the eye
Or ask me what I'm doing
There's far too many things to do
Before the war is through
There ain't no time
