Steve Pineo - Father Time Lyrics

There are those who'd like to sell you on some antiquated notions
Even say they'll save your skin with all their powders and their potions
But if you live a life that's reckless all that stuff ain't worth a dime
If you mess with Mother Nature, watch out for Father Time

So you think that you're immortal 'cause the papers print your picture
Well it's vanity or gravity, either one is gonna get you
Just remember Mount Olympus is a mighty hill to climb
If you mess with Mother Nature, watch out for Father Time

Mother Nature is a warm and loving lady
She watches all her children as they grow
But Father Time ain't so forgiving, if he don't like the way you're living
He's the first to tell you when it's time to go

So just take the time you've got and try to dig the row you're hoeing
It just might all end tomorrow; you ain't got no way of knowing
And if you still don't know the reason, pay attention to this rhyme
If you mess with Mother Nature, watch out for Father Time
