Maybe the jukebox'll
heal up a heartache
But I'd go into debt
Maybe the whiskey can
wipe out a memory
But it only hurts my head
Maybe some dancin'll
pick me up
But the best song always ends
Now I'm down to tellin' myself
Time is a fool's best friend
Doctor time
Have mercy on me
Don't wait too long
to set me free
Doctor time
I'm counting on you
'Cause you're the only one
who can pull me through
My friends tell me hard work
can fill up the hours
It don't fill this bed
Quarter says a phone call
can bring forgiveness
She'd hang up again
Gotta give me something
to forget her
Every time I lay down
There ain't a night goes by
I don't wish
I'd wake up a year from now
Doctor time
Have mercy on me
Don't wait too long
to set me free
Doctor time
I'm counting on you
'Cause you're the only one
who can pull me through
Time tell the truth
You're the only one I trust
How many weeks until I leave
this heartache in the dust
Doctor time
Have mercy on me
Don't wait too long
to set me free
Doctor time
I'm counting on you
'Cause you're the only one
who can pull me through
'Cause you're the only one
who can pull me through
