Well it took a long time but you’ve finally worn out your smileThat’s when I knew itI’ve run outta bar a time?You always used to say that you could learn a lot through wasting timeAnd that if you look hardYou’ll see yourself in your lovers eyesYour time is near it won’t be longYou’ve got to go when you’re called uponNo light of day no sight of dawnDon’t turn around just walk right onYou came riding into town with a black and white five and tenSaid I’ll be your captainAnd take you back home againIt’s your third time around but you know I’ll get a second windBut if we ever get there they’ll be no one there to let us inYour time is near it won’t be longYou’ve got to go when you’re called uponYou caught me dancing in the street last nightYou walked right past me into the lightPacked up my souvenirs, tied my shoes, and sold my carYes I should have known itI’d never get very farEver since we’ve met you’ve been a hungry and a restless childYou’re just like your fatherYou know he’s got a poison mindYour time is near it won’t be longYou’ve got to go when you’re called uponYou said you and me we’d never will pretendBut my broken soul is never gonna mend
