Maybe the jukebox can heal up a heartache
But I'd 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 song always ends
Now I'm down and telling myself
Time is a fools best friend
Doctor Time, have mercy on me
Don't wait too long to set me free
Doctor Time, I'm counting on you
'Cause you're the only one who can pull me through
Friends tell me hard work can fill up the hours
It don't fill this bed
A quarter says a phone call can bring forgiveness
She'd hang up again
Gotta give me something to forget her
Every time I lay down
There ain't a night goes by I don't wish
I'd wake up a year from now
Doctor Time, have mercy on me
Don't wait too long to set me free
Doctor Time, I'm counting on you
'Cause you're the only one who can pull me through
Time tell the truth you're the only one I trust
How many weeks until I leave this heartache in the dust
Doctor Time, have mercy on me
Don't wait too long to set me free
Doctor Time, I'm counting on you
'Cause you're the only one who can pull me through
You're the only one who can pull me through
