Not Enough Time (3:14) – up tempo, catchy song with heartfelt vocals, guitars, fiddle, and a touch of gravel roads and fishing holes. An upbeat yet poignant look at the challenges and gifts of time with a bit of social commentary for good measure.
Lyrics
Not Enough Time
Words & Music by Joy Zimmerman
Not enough time in a lifetime or diesel in the tank
My glass half empty before I start to drink
Weeds grow faster, kids no longer small
Not enough time in a lifetime after all
Too much plastic, not enough trees
Too much hatred, not enough bees
Not enough courage, too many screens
Too few seasons with you
Not enough chocolate, too much kale
Too much waste, not enough clearance sales
Too much division, not enough songs
Chances to sing along
Could good days last longer, rough ones fade away?
Can’t find my way back to things I didn’t say
Not enough time in a lifetime or diesel in the tank
My glass half empty before I start to drink
Weeds grow faster, kids no longer small
Not enough time in a lifetime after all
Too much worry, not enough jokes
Too much information, not enough hope
Too much corruption, not enough soap
Adventures with you
Too much fine print, not enough done
Too much desert, not enough lightning bugs
Too many mosquitos, not enough hugs
Moments with ones you love
Hours with ones you love
Need more fish in the ocean, bites on my line
Chapters and verse from sweet days gone by
Not enough time in a lifetime or diesel in the tank
My glass half empty before I start to drink
Weeds grow faster, kids no longer small
Not enough time in a lifetime after all
Weeds grow faster, kids no longer small
Not enough time in a lifetime after all
After all, after all
Not enough time
