Maybe the juke box can heal up a heartache
But Id go into debt
Maybe the whiskey can wipe out a memory
But it only hurts my head
Maybe some dancing will pick me up
But the best songs always ends
Now Im down and telling myself
Time is a fools best friend.
Chorus
Doctor time, have mercy on me
Dont wait too long to set me free
Doctor time, Im counting on you
Cause your the only one
Who can pull me through
Friends tell me hard work can fill up the hours
But it dont fill this bed
A quarter says a phone call can bring forgiveness
Shed hang up again
Gotta find something to forget her
Everytime I lay down
There aint a night goes by I dont wish
Id wake up a year from now
Chorus
Doctor time, have mercy on me
Dont wait too long to set me free
Doctor time, Im counting on you
Cause your the only one
Who can pull me through
Time tell the truth your the only one I trust
How many weeks until I leave this heartache in the dust
Chorus
Doctor time, have mercy on me
Dont wait too long to set me free
Doctor time, Im counting on you
Cause your the only one
Who can pull me through
