Joe Bonamassa - Time Clocks lyrics

[Verse 1] I was never a great puncher of time clocks I was never the one who had lots I was only good at one thing, ringing bells, kissing rings A heart can't heal once padlocked [Verse 2} I was never meant the one who was tedious I was always wanted to be the one who leads us On things that came to mind, never on someone else's dime As the hunter explains to the fox [Chorus] And the rain soaking through my coat About to capsize my boat I push it a long way from thе docks I was never a good puncher of timе clocks As the rain has chilled me to the bone I'm flat-out tired and alone I put it away, now it's locked I was never a good puncher of time clocks [Verse 3] I was never a teller of stories Didn't need to thrive on the glory It's about the life of a man, victim time and time again Hard as hell to get up in the morning [Chorus] And the rain soaking through my coat About to capsize my boat I push it a long way from the docks I was never a good puncher of time clocks As the rain has chilled me to the bone I'm flat-out tired and alone I put it away, now it's locked I was never a good puncher of time clocks [Verse 4] Regrets to stoke the fires Clay pigeon and the ignorant liars The view from my window as the pouring rain seeps Too scared to look down in the deep [Bridge] Make no illusions about your forgone conclusions Time will set you back, will all your wounds If the darkness sets in, it creeps up on you Like a man typecast the fool [Chorus] And the rain soaking through my coat About to capsize my boat I push it a long way from the docks I was never a good puncher of time clocks As the rain has chilled me to the bone I'm flat-out tired and alone I put it away, now it's locked I was never a good puncher of time clocks
