Lyrics
I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME
EACH DAY I GET A LITTLE OLDER,
THE WIND BLOWS A LITTLE COLDER,
THRU MY FRAME OF MIND.
IN MY BRAIN, THERES A HURRICANE,
AND I'M STANDING RIGHT IN THE EYE.
CHORUS;
AND I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME,
TO CHASE DOWN THAT DREAM I LEFT BEHIND.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR NUMBERS ROLLS,
UP TO THE FINISH LINE
AND I'M ...I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
I'VE GOT A FEW REGRETS,
THAT I AIN'T FORGOTTEN YET,
THAT KEEP ON HANGIN' AROUND.
THOSE MEMORY'S, KEEP DOGGIN' ME
THEY AIM TO DRAG ME DOWN.
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
I DON'T WANNA SEE, MY LIFE PASS BY ME,
AND SLOWLY DRIFT AWAY
THE CLOCK KEEPS TICKIN', AND WHILE I'M STILL KICKIN'
A GOTTA DO WHAT I SAY
REPEAT CHORUS;
GARY ALLEN / BYRON BINNS
