High Time Lyrics

Waylon Jennings

Well I'm sick and tired of wakin' up sick and tired
As of today there's gonna be some changes made
Well you might as well keep your feet on the ground
Cause I won't stand still for your movin' around
It's high time you quit your lowdown ways
Anything to the talk I hear over town
Is it really true girl that you go on the deck up and down
Now the word as well as I can recall
Everywhere you've been you've been the belle of the ball
It's high time you quit your lowdown ways
[ ac.guitar ]
I remember one time now way back down on the farm
My daddy had a dominiker hen but she wouldn't stay home
Well now she could fly higher than a jet airplane
But not after daddy clipped her little ol' wings
It's high time you quit your lowdown ways
[ guitar ]
