This Time

Tell me you’re weary
Tell me you’re strong
Tell me you’re wiser now
You’ve put down your gong
They say that you’ve been acting up
That’s not a crime
Don’t fret it when it all goes wrong
This time
This time
Come on, listen
Don’t you worry 'bout a thing
You wouldn’t credit it
To all go wrong
Don’t you worry 'bout a thing
'Cause when the chips they are down
I’ll be around
This time
This time
You were so radio friendly
When you came along
Now you’re shaking and bending
Mockingbirds and scuppernong
Don’t sweat it when it all goes wrong
This time, don’t let it when it all goes wrong
This time
This time
Come on, listen
Here, let me dry your eye
Come on and take my hand
We don’t have to say goodbye
Strike up the band
