Lyrics

0:05Listen up and I'll tell you what you'll do
0:11Forget about music and alcohol too
0:16Forget about your baby
0:18We got other work for you
0:21Better drink yer glasses empty now
0:24It's time to rise and shine
0:26There's one less cause in the world
0:30To be leaving for
0:34It was back in 39
0:36When I was one year old
0:39Sitting by the backyard fence
0:41And the world had turned so cold
0:44Drink yer glasses empty now
0:46Was all that they were told
0:51Drink yer glasses empty now
0:53It's time to hit the sky
0:56To the tune of thunder
0:58There's no time to wonder why
1:05We'd love to take life over that is plain
1:12Forget about sorrow forget about pain
1:17And watch a John Wayne movie
1:19To remind us once again
1:22Better drink yer glasses empty now
1:25It's time to hit the line
1:27You got one less cause in the world
1:30To be leaving for
1:34Drink yer glasses girls and boys
1:37It's time to hit the sky
1:40To the tune of thunder
1:41There's a tear in every eye
1:49I'd like to take things one at a time
1:55Forget about reason forget about rhyme
2:00Because beg steal or borrow
2:02You got another hill to climb
2:05So drink yer glasses empty now
2:07It's time to hit the road
2:10There's one less cause in the world
2:14To be leaving for
2:17Drink yer glasses girls and boys
2:20It's time to hit the sky
2:23To the tune of thunder
2:24There's no time to wonder why
2:32We'd like to take life over again
2:38When time of war had passed away into the rain
2:43And watch a John Wayne movie
2:45To remind us of the plains
2:48Just drink yer glasses empty now
2:50It's time to rise and shine
2:53There's one less cause in the world
2:56To be leaving for
Listen up and I'll tell you what you'll do
Forget about music and alcohol too
Forget about your baby
We got other work for you
Better drink yer glasses empty now
It's time to rise and shine
There's one less cause in the world
To be leaving for
It was back in 39
When I was one year old
Sitting by the backyard fence
And the world had turned so cold
Drink yer glasses empty now
Was all that they were told
Drink yer glasses empty now
It's time to hit the sky
To the tune of thunder
There's no time to wonder why
We'd love to take life over that is plain
Forget about sorrow  forget about pain
And watch a John Wayne movie
To remind us once again
Better drink yer glasses empty now
It's time to hit the line
You got one less cause in the world
To be leaving for
Drink yer glasses girls and boys
It's time to hit the sky
To the tune of thunder
There's a tear in every eye
I'd like to take things one at a time
Forget about reason  forget about rhyme
Because beg  steal or borrow
You got another hill to climb
So drink yer glasses empty now
It's time to hit the road
There's one less cause in the world
To be leaving for
Drink yer glasses girls and boys
It's time to hit the sky
To the tune of thunder
There's no time to wonder why
We'd like to take life over again
When time of war had passed away into the rain
And watch a John Wayne movie
To remind us of the plains
Just drink yer glasses empty now
It's time to rise and shine
There's one less cause in the world
To be leaving for
