his sister's on the beach
she's coming up on seventy
sand and sunscreen
she tries to keep her feet clean

as i drove her to town 
drove her to the movies
cut off blue jeans
skinny legs on the front seat

(i don't get the time
i got the time)
maybe some time if you've got the time
how about this time if you've got the time
maybe some time if you've got the time
we could go home we could go home

oh, i want to go home to-night to-day

finger the fire as the cigarette catches
bolts and latches and the matches
strings and straight pins some felt and cable
keys and loose change on the bedside table
shoes on the floor 
the beginning of new sores
a happy love scene
dingy place for an ending

(i don't get the time
i got the time)
maybe some time if you've got the time
how about this time if you've got the time
maybe some time if you've got the time
we could go home we could go home

oh, i want to be home to-night to-day

(i don't get the time
i got the time)
forget about that
just drive her to the movies.
