Your Time s Coming
Recorded by Faron Young
written by Kris Kristofferson and Shel Silverstein
Well I knew she belonged to someone else at the time
But lonely lookin women are a weakness of mine
So I bought all she said about the love he never gave her
And figured I just love her some and do us both a favor
Just as I got up to leave he walked through the door
And I guess I thought he d be surprised
But he looked at me as if to say he s been there before
And he offered me these words to the wise
Chorus:
He said you know she s a cheater son
But you believe that you re the one
Who s got a lot of what it takes to change her
And I ve no doubt that you can get her
You ain t much but that don t matter
Nothing suits her better than a stranger
And the stranger man the better
And the chances are she ll set her
Eyes on you the next time she goes slumming
So you sit back and wait your turn boy
You got lots of time to learn boy
Cool it while you can your time s coming
Well it happens that in time it happened just like he said
And soon enough her shoes were setting under my bed
And I ll confess I did my best to prove that man had lied
But nothing short of suicide could keep her satisfied
So buddy losing her to you was just a matter of time
And it s her time for finding something new
Nothing I can say is gonna make you change your mind
So I ll just give the same advice to you
Repeat Chorus:
I said cool it while you can cause your time s coming
