NEVER BE ENOUGH TIME

Well your mama didn't like me
So we just ran away
Got a little apartment in a hotel
Down in Brownsville way
I used to sit in the kitchen and play guitar
When night turned to day
We always thought we had something
No one could ever take away
But the time run out
And the payment's due
There'll never be enough time to forget about you
Well there'll never be enough time to forget about you

We used to lie in bed all day
And plot our destination
And talk about why you like the miracles
And I dug the temptations
But all those good times that we had
Just turned into frustration
When we made our final move
There were no hesitation
Because the time run out
And the payment's due
There'll never be enough time to forget about you
Well there'll never be enough time to forget about you

Never be enough time
The time run out
And the payment's due
There'll never be enough time to forget about you

Never be enough time to forget about you
Never be enough time to forget about you
Never be enough time to forget about you
Never be enough time to forget about you
Never be enough time
Never be enough time
