Lyrics

I used to have dreams
But then I woke up
I used to hustle
Man I did try
But now I ain't got no
Got got no big ambitions
Don't ask me what I got,
I ain't got nothing but time.

And I used to burn bright
But then I burned out
I had potential
Man I did shine
But now I ain't got no
Light, heat, or smoke
Don't ask my what I got
I ain't got nothing but time

Nothing but time (nothing but time)
Oh nothing but time (nothing but time)
Nothing but time (nothing but time)
Oh~!

And I used to get High
I got knocked-out loaded
I used to drink vodka
In soda with a lime
But now I ain't got no
Cause to call for a toast
Don't ask me what I got
I ain't got nothing but time

And I used to get drunk
On that holy water
And I know Jesus
turned my water to wine
But now I ain't got no
Got no holy father
Don't ask me what I got
I ain't got nothing but time

Nothing but time (nothing but time)
Oh nothing but time (nothing but time)
Nothing but time (nothing but time)
Oh~!

I used to sing songs
from a muddy old hymnal
I cried "Jesus, On the main line!"
But now I ain't got no
Got no song to sing you
Don't ask me what I got
I ain't got nothing but time

Nothing but time (nothing but time)
Oh nothing but time (nothing but time)
Nothing but time (nothing but time)
Oh~!
Ohhhh~!
Ohhhhhhhh~!
