Time Out Lyrics

Cover art for Time Out lyrics by Joe Walsh

All over the web these lyrics are wrong. Somebody put them up wrong and they got copied and pasted everywhere. It is a more clever song if your have the words right:

Goin' through the motions Tryin' not to snore Didn't know the gun was loaded Rowin' in the ocean Caught without an oar Someone said they always floated

Time out, save the play Try to make the line last Any old way you can Signed out, blown away When you speak your mind out Never say what you plan

The maids are in the hallway Bangin' on the door Askin' what the funny smell was Wake you up and tell you It's OK to sleep some more By the way, is there any you can sell us?

So the case is gettin' hotter Guilty till your tried Stick 'em up, you've just been busted Your basement's full of water Forgot about the tide Hope to God the pump ain't rusted

Signed out, blown away When you speak your mind out Never say what you plan Time out, save the fray Try to make the line last Any old way you can

@taterzpop Thank you thank you thank you! For the last 12/13 years I've been looking for the lyrics to this song and have always known they were wrong - they just didn't make sense. Thank you for getting it right - the second part of the first verse has bugged me for years.

@taterzpop Thanks for clarifying what is wrong all over the web. Well done.
