Time to Spare

I’ve been thinking about you lately
I’ve been wondering where you are
It’s been years since we went rambling through the night
You were gonna write your novel
I was gonna be a star
We were young and things were sure to work out right
And oh, the nights were warmer then
We were free from care
Nobody wished us anything but well
We had time to spare
We had time to spare
Revolution was a-comin'
In the vanguard we would be
We could feel the coming victory in our bones
But the music started changing
And one morning around three
We decided we would all be Rolling Stones
And oh, the nights were warmer then
We were free from care
Nobody wished us anything but well
We had time to spare (we had time to spare)
We had time to spare
We started getting married
And we started our careers
Though we swore that deep inside, we’d stay the same
The children started coming
And they seemed to swallow years
So we taught ourselves to play a different game
Now, we read it in the papers
And we watch it on TV
All the politics
The passions in the air
I’ve been thinking about you lately
And how much you meant to me
And how wonderful it was when we were there
And oh, the nights were warmer then
We were free from care
Nobody wished us anything but well
We had time to spare (we had time to spare)
We had time to spare
Oh, nobody wished us anything but well
We had time to spare
We had time to spare
