Take Your Time

He walked in the bar about half past one
Said you better make it a double son
Pour in some ice and call it done
It sure has been an awful one

I nodded at him as he has a seat
There at the bar sat misery
I said no thank sir it’s on me
I lied that my tips had been flowin free

He said take your time
Take your time, if it’s free
Take your time
Take your time

I waited on him from time to time
As I was slinging beer and pouring wine
He always said no thanks I’m fine
But bring me a double when you got the time

I finally got the nerve to ask
Sir what’s got you drinking those down so fast
He said there’s an angel from my past
It’s the anniversary of when I saw her last

I said take your time
Take your time sir
Take your time
Take your time

He said listen closely to me friend
It’ll save you from the hell I’m in
If I had it all to do again
Here’s where I would make amends

I had the chance to make her stay
Pride and fear got in the way
Should have never said we needed a break
The last damn thing I wanted to say, was

Take your time
I didn’t know that I’d be wasting mine
I said take your time, that’s what I told her
I didn’t know that I’d be wasting mine, wasting mine

I said sir, if you don’t mind me saying
Someday you won’t feel the pain
I’m sure you’ll think about her once in a while
When you do I hope you smile

He said who do you think you’re talking to
I’ve lived four more lives than you
I told you it was my anniversary
I didn’t tell you it was day twelve thousand and three

So you get in line boy get in line
I’ll decide for myself when my heart’s fine
And I’m gonna take my time, take my sweet ass time
Because the day I’m done hurting is the day I’m dying

I said take your time, that’s what I told her
I didn’t know that I’d be wasting mine, wasting mine
But don’t worry I’m gonna be fine, I’ll be fine
I’ll be smoking my kind and drinking
I’ll be fine fine fine
I’ll be fine fine fine
I’ll be fine fine fine
You can take your time
