Stalling For Time

John D. Loudermilk


You stretch one cigarette from one to the other 
And you go from politics to baby brother 
Ah, you're just stalling for time 
Stalling for time, till the sun shines 

You make small talk and lead me on and on 
And then draw back just at the crack of dawn 
'Cause you're just stalling for time 
Stalling for time, till the sun shines 

You run in tears from my embrace 
And hope the morning sun will hide your blushing face 
While you fight a battle you know I'm gonna win 
But you don't give up till the sun comes up again 
You're just stalling for time 
Stalling for time, till the sun shines 
Till the sun shines, till the sun shines 
And burns all my chances away
