Time Starts Slippin'

YAY! MY 100TH SONG ON YOUTUBE (15 are "private") Took me 35 months.
This one is headed south to Nashville. It's pretty corny, isn't it?
Lyrics:
Time Starts Slippin'
December 12, 2011 J.M. Field

We've both been around the block
we've loved our share
we've stretched the clock
but time won't last forever we both know
we pretend there's years to kill
to laugh it up
and pay the bill
but the clock's been tickin' since we said hello

What if time starts slippin' like it did before
and my heart can't hold on to you no more?

Well, the barkeep is a friend of mine
I hang around
past closin' time
and the talk, you know, it always comes round to you
He says the second time might be the charm
just hold her tight
and keep her warm
girl, there's nothin' more I'd rather do

but what if time starts slippin' like it did before
and my heart can't hold on to you no more?

Who do I think I'm foolin' now
pretending time
will straighten out somehow
and love once and for all can take ahold?
If I don't make a bet then I can't win
That's not a risk
I want to take again
I think it's time I let my love unfold

Before time starts slippin' like it did before
and my heart can't hold onto you no more x2
