Pick Up the Tempo

W. Nelson







People are saying that times take care



Of people like me



And that I'm living too fast and they say I won't last



Much longer



But little they see that their thoughts of me



Is my savior



And little they know the beat ought to go



A little faster







So pick up the tempo



Pick up the tempo







So pick up the tempo just a little bit



And take it on home



The singer ain't singing



And the drummer's been draggin'



Too long



Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone



And pick up the tempo just a little



And take it on home







I'm wild and I'm mean, I'm creating a scene



I'm goin' crazy



I'm good and I'm bad, I'm happy and sad



And I'm lazy



I'm quiet and loud and I'm creatin' a crowd



And I like rabies



I'm 'bout half off the wall but I learned it all



In the Navy







So pick up the tempo



Pick up the tempo



So pick up the tempo



And take it on home
