Killin' Time 5-15-2025


Hello, again if applicable, dear Reader, and welcome. It's about an hour before a long-awaited appointment with a pulmonologist in nearby Bisbee; it only takes 23 minutes to get there from here, so here I am in the meantime. 

Sorry that the Clint Black song up there is about alcoholism - I just like him and the song itself. Anyway, at least the title's applicable - "Killin' Time". 

Here are the lyrics; enjoy! 

You were the first thing that I thought of
When I thought I drank you off my mind
When I get lost in the liquor
You're the only one I find
And if I did the things I oughta
You still would not be mine
So I'll keep a tight grip on the bottle
Gettin' loose and killin' time

This killin' time is killin' me
Drinking myself blind thinkin' I won't see
That if I cross that line and they bury me
Well, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity

And I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow
I've been lost in yesterday
I've spent all my life just dying for a love that passed away
If there's an end to all my sorrow
And this is the only price I'll pay
I'll be a happy man when I go
And I can't wait another day

This killin' time is killin' me
Drinking myself blind thinkin' I won't see
That if I cross that line and they bury me
Well, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity

Yes, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity.
