Lyrics

NO TIME FOR ROMANCE WELL MAMA WAS A CHRISTIAN, SHE READ THE WORD BY CANDLELIGHT. SHE DID HER BEST TO RAISE ME AND PRAYED TO GOD I’D TURN OUT RIGHT (SORRY MAMA) SHE SAID THIS ONE’S LIKE HER FATHER. SHE NEVER STAYS AT HOME AND WHEN I HEARD THE BACKDOOR SLAM…MY BABY GIRL WAS GONE. WELL DADDY WAS A RAMBLER. HE RAN SHINE FROM TOWN TO TOWN, LORD, LORD. HE’D TRAVELED THOSE OLD BACK ROADS. HAD THE HAMMER TO THE GROUND. SOMETIMES HE’D STOP ALONG THE WAY, JUST TO LAY HIS HAT DOWN. CHORUS: THEN HE WAS UP IN THE MORNIN’, HE WAS LOOKIN’ FOR HIS BOOTS. THEY SAY HE GOT IT HONEST. IT WAS BRANDED IN HIS ROOTS. HE HAD TO KEEP ON MOVIN’. HE WAS GONE IN JUST A GLANCE. IT WAS A LONG WAY DOWN THE ROAD. HE DIDN’T HAVE NO TIME FOR ROMANCE. WELL I’M JUST A COUNTRY GIRL, I PLAY MY GUITAR ALL NIGHT LONG, LORD, LORD. I MIGHT HIT YOU WITH SOME GRETCHEN OR A TANYA TUCKER SONG. BUT WHEN THE NIGHT IS OVER AND WE’VE HAD OUR LAST DANCE. I’M BOUND TO HIT THE HIGHWAY. AIN’T GOT NO TIME FOR ROMAMCE. BRIDGE: NO TIME FOR ROMANCE. NO TIME AT ALL. I GOTTA KEEP ON MOVIN’ WHEN I HEAR THAT LONESOME CALL. I’D LOVE TO TAKE YOU WITH ME, BUT YOU WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND… I GOT NO TIME FOR YOU BABY….AIN’T GOT NO TIME FOR ROMANCE. CUZ I’LL BE UP IN THE MORNIN’, I’LL BE LOOKIN’ FOR MY BOOTS. THEY SAY I GOT IT HONEST. IT WAS BRANDED IN MY ROOTS. OH, I’VE GOTTA KEEP ON MOVIN’. BUT I’M GLAD WE HAD THE CHANCE. IT’S A LONG WAY DOWN THE ROAD. AIN’T GOT NO TIME FOR ROMANCE. IT’S A LONG WAY DOWN THE ROAD. AIN’T GOT NO TIME FOR ROMANCE. IT’S A LONG WAY DOWN THE ROAD. I AIN’T GOT NO TIME FOR ROMANCE.
