Time to Kill Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The many roads I've covered
The many trails I've burned
But when our paths did cross, love, oooh
My whole world made a turn

[Chorus]
And we've got time to kill, what a thrill
June and July
We've got all our love, buckets of
The tears that we've cried
Now we don't cry no more, gonna bolt the door
Don't know what we got, but it feels like a lot
We don't need no more

[Verse 2]
When my day's work is done
We can take in a jamboree
But I just wanna sit down by the fire
With my love right here beside me

[Chorus]
We've got time to kill, Catskill
Sweet by and by
We got all our love, the sky above
The twinkle in your eye
Now where the wheel might roll is where my love and I shall go
We're gonna plant the seed, there ain't nothing we need
We found our own rainbow
[Verse 3]
My love wants to have her fortune read
And I know that she's in a hurry
If we go along the straight and narrow
You don't even have to worry

[Chorus]
We've got time to kill, standin' still
Go on, give it a try
We've got all our love, mountains of
The trees are so high
We don't need no big car, don't eat no caviar
When we come to rest, we take to the nest
You know where we are

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
