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
