C
 I ain't got time,
   Dm
To think about money,
C               Dm
 Or what it can buy.
    C
And I ain't got time,
   Dm
To sit down and wonder,
C                   Dm
 What makes a birdy fly.
      C
And I don't have the time
Dm
 To think about,
C                    Dm
 what makes a flower grow.
      C
And I never gave it,
Dm
 Second thought.
   F         Dm    C
To where the river flows.

Or how long it's gonna' last.
       C
And uh I ain't got time,

To do no studyin',

 Once I get out of class.

One track mind.

I just don't have the time.
