My Time is Not My Own

Haven't set out on a road trip

Since I can't remember when

I'd like to visit Rotorua

Roam the streets of Rome again

Finally take that second honeymoon

A Royal Viking cruise

Find that Hohner buried in a drawer

And learn to blow the blues

Start checkin' off that bucket list

I'm saving on my phone

I'll do it when there's time, but now

My time is not my own

The grandkids need attention

There's weeding to be done

I gotta call my brother back

And give the dog a run

My buddy needs a lift to town

There's dinner to decide

And laundry to be sorted out

As soon as it is dried

I know I need some me time

For me and me alone

I'll grab some when I can, but now

My time is not my own

Time's like a river, it flows and it flows

Fed by rain each year

Time's like a river, but everybody knows

It stopped raining here

Arthritis is a royal pain

My back is always sore

The eyesight's getting weaker

The memory even more

My nerves are raw, my flesh is frail

I'm reminded every day

This coil I wear is mortal

And the shruggin's on its way

We enter life as solo acts

We leave it as alone

Our days and nights are numbered

Our time is not our own

So I share as much as I can spare

And I don't feel so alone

'Cause time is all I've got to give

And my time is not my own

Yeah, time is all we've got to give

And our time is not our own
