Take your time
We can do, we can do, we can do it
Take your time
We can do, we can do, we can do it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
We can do, we can do, we can do it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, (Take your time) oh-oh
We can do, we can do, we can do it
You know that I've been licked and I'm terminally hip
And you see me crawlin' in again, reakin' of the same gin
Through the door many times, same condition, broken mind
Gotta start the same show all over again
Powerless, flowerless, cannot do this anymore
Remember to surrender to the power of your choice
Acceptance is the answer, page 449
Slow down, take it easy, Tommy, ain't no hurry here
Take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, (take your time) oh-oh
We can do, we can do, we can do it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, (take your time) oh-oh
We can do, we can do, we can do it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Inventory, purgatory, checked out my soul
I'm a legend in my own time, legend in my own mind
The plugs in the jug and reality is setting in
The pink cloud is wearin' thin
The girls are lookin' good
But I'm broke
But I'm broke
Hey Tommy, lookin' good
Got a tan, feelin' better?
Heard you're readin' chapter five, you know how to stay alive
Every morning hit your knees
Ninety meetings, ninety days
Heard you share, we care
Check it out, Tommy
Take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, (take your time) oh-oh
We can do, we can do, we can do it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, (take your time) oh-oh
We can do, we can do, we can do it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We can do, we can do, we can do it
Take your time
We can do, we can do, we can do it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Take, take, take your time, take a day at a time
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
