Time has a way

Time has a way

Time has a way
of making you pay
for every thing you do
Somewhere upon this road of life
it catches up with you.
-
You have no fear
for many a year
and think you're off the hook
But time is nipping at your heels
if you'd turn around and look.
-
Before you know
it starts to show
and everybody sees
This thing you thought you could evade
is winning by degrees.
-
When time is through
transporting you
and kicks you out the door
The foolish pride you tried to hide
will carry you no more.
