Your Time's Coming
Recorded by Faron Young

G
Well I knew she belonged to someone else at the time
D7
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
G
Just as I got up to leave he walked through the door
G7 C
And I guess I thought he'd be surprised
D7
But he looked at me as if to say he's been there before
And he offered me these words to the wise
G
He said you know she's a cheater son
But you believe that you're the one
D7
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
G
Nothing suits her better than a stranger
And the stranger man the better
And the chances are she'll set her
G7 C
Eyes on you the next time she goes slumming
D7
So you sit back and wait your turn boy
You got lots of time to learn boy
G
Cool it while you can your time's coming
Well it happens that in time it happened just like he said
D7
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
G
So buddy losing her to you was just a matter of time
G7 C
And it's her time for finding something new
D7
Nothing I can say is gonna make you change your mind
So I'll just give the same advice to you
Repeat Chorus:
