Allman, Gregg - Ain't Wastin' Time No More Lyrics






Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain
The week before, they all seemed the same
With the help of God and true friends, I've come to realize
I still have two strong legs, and even wings to fly

So I ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things

Lord, Lord, Miss Sally, why all your cryin'?
Been around here three long days, lookin' like you're dyin'
Go step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above
Go on downtown, baby, find you somebody to love

Meanwhile I ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and much faster things

You don't need no gypsy to tell you why
You can't let one precious day slip by
Look inside yourself, and if you don't see what you want
Maybe sometimes then you don't
Leave your mind alone and just get high

By and by, way after many years have gone
And all the war freaks die off, leavin' us alone
We'll raise our children in the peaceful way we can
It's up to you and me brother
To try and try again

So, hear us now, we ain't wastin' time no more
Time rolls by like hurricanes
Runnin' after the subway train
Don't forget the pourin' rain

    Greg, man....the mystique and talent is still right there. I wish he had taken better care of himself. So many squandered years. So many great songs not written. Guess that's just how that road had to be driven. So great this concert caught lightning in a bottle one more time. Dickey shoulda been there,too.

    Yeah I saw the Allman Brothers in 1975 Phoenix Arizona feline Fields when they're on tour were there eat a peach album Robin Trower Ten Years After The Allman Brothers one hell of a concert didn't get to meet him but I sure enjoyed their music. My favorite song by the Allman Brothers is Midnight Rider one of the best and tied to the whipping post Berry Oakley Duane Allman and Greg rest in peace one of the best bands in the United States along with Lynyrd Skynyrd band God bless their souls 2

    Duane, Berry, Butch, and Greg....

  41. M.... p....

    Great version. I think Gregg wanted to send a message by changing it to "We'll all get by..." And if that was his message later in life, groovy with me.

  42. J.... ....

    Rip Greg allman

  43. M.... D....

    Good time Charlie's got the blue's today...

  44. M.... D....

    Sorry started drinking again..

  46. M.... J....

    Love this lineup, Gregg said I’m gonna play guitar for once lol, miss you brother 😭

  47. J.... A....

    I noticed the subtle change Gregg made in the lyrics. I think I prefer lyrics to stay the way I remember them: "leave your mind alone and just get high."

    J.... A....

    You would probably reconsider if you had a liver transplant from years of getting high.

    J.... A....

    different times

  63. S.... J....

    R.I.P. Gregg

  64. d.... ....

    The singing voice of Greg Allman, frickin' originally awesome! Great guy, got a real charge outta brief conversation with him in NJ many years ago, who opened for him outside at the NJ State Park horse race Track? The Jets, LOL, the Jets! anyone remember them? The Greg Allman band blew everyone away, shoot Greg even broke up a fight from behind his organ. Blessings my brother! A good friend of mine resides up the country road from you a stretch in Ga. I'm happy for ya, stay well, be well, peace. This video/audio performance is cherry!

  65. d.... ....

    Dickey's slide was so important to this song. Love all versions but when that slide is going, it raises to another level.

  66. L.... ....

    Very tasty band!

  67. W.... I....

    Dynamite!

  68. m.... ....

    I have seen him many times but rarely with a guitar in hand. Good stuff

    m.... ....

    He learned it first... Duane stole Gregg's guitar, and Gregg switched to organ (mostly). Good stuff, indeed.

    m.... ....

    Gregg went back to play guitar occasionally after Duane's passing and they brought in Chuck Leavell to play piano. For a while in the 70s he played a Veleno aluminum guitar

  69. t.... ....

    What i love about gregg allman hes not a stage stealer if that makes any sense he gives everyone a chance in the show to showcase there talents

    t.... ....

    i understand !! he kinda sits over to the side when he plays the organ / piano

    t.... ....

    plus, he doesnt have to prove anything we all know he s great

    t.... ....

    Agree. Look at his smile during Scott Sherrad's solo.

    t.... ....

    A toned down simple man.

  70. k.... m....

    I absolutely love these songs, love the sax, love the guitar, Gregg sounds fantastic...you gotta love it. The drumming is spot on.

  71. G.... L....

    Scott Sharrard é fpda!

    G.... L....

    George Lucas 0

  72. B.... S....

    Gregg kicks ass just as much now as he did in the 70s !!  ...How many folks can you say that about ???

  73. B.... S....

    Damn!!  I've ALWAYS been a fan of Greggs...But who the hell is this sax player?...Man !! He has "it"  if I have EVER heard  "it" ...  This sax player is NO JOKE JACK !!! ...And don't you come back no more no more no more no more !!!

    B.... S....

    In case you seriously wanted to know--the sax player is Jay Collins.

    B.... S....

    Buck Sellers. I agree with you 100% he is a badass sax player and with Gregg Allman just fits in just like a glove I love the sax and my rock and roll live on

  74. m.... h....

    What a great performance of one of my favorite Gregg songs. The man has really gotten his crap together. Just saw him in Bethlehem Pa a couple weeks ago and he is better than he ever was and the band is just freakin right on point. We have lost so many keystone musicians starting with Levon Helm over the last few years. Gregg is a survivor and he should be cherished for as long as we have him.

    m.... h....

    Gregg will go down in history as the best.

  75. c.... j....

    finally a good version of one of my favorite songs

  76. S.... H....

    Yes!!! You still got it!!!

  77. G.... H....

    I saw Gregg with the Allman Brothers back in Dayton, Ohio in the late 70's.  I think the ticket cost me 8 or 10 bucks.  Always a great show.  I hope to see him in 2016.

  78. g.... O....

    Jay collins kicks Ass!!

  79. B.... N....

    I am 66 and just became a fan of Gregg's! Can't stop playing his music!!!

    B.... N....

    wow,what took so long

    B.... N....

    Welcome and good choice Barbara. Better late than never. I've been hooked since I was 16 so some 45 years.

    B.... N....

    Some good southern Rock babes .

    B.... N....

    65 here,been listening since 71 to the allman bros. and Gregg,hooked!

  80. D.... J....

    Looks like Sherrod has finally stepped up and come out of the shadows.  This is a seriously excellent version of this  tune all around, huge sax.  You young ones (Derek/Warren) want to move on, that wont stop us one bit.

  81. k.... ....

    Aint nobody cooler than Gregg Allman. That's just a fact Jack. I always love the way The ABB played this song but I'm always looking for the rare versions with Jack Pearson on guitar and they're hard to find. Well thank god for Scott Sharrard because he plays the solo a lot like JP usually would. It's such a cool, laid back way of playing it even when he's getting after it and it fits right in with how Gregg is playing the tunes now. The timing of it really grooves. Can't wait for Macon in 2016.

    I met Gregg at the side door of the Beacon. I told him how much I loved his new album. He looked me in the eye and said thank you. I smiled and he went on to play a fantastic concert with Eric Clapton. It was the concert of my lifetime.

    s.... b....

    samuel beckett Clapton and Gregg Allman EXCELLENT

    I can't believe we were in the same place at that same once in a lifetime show. I was fortunate enough to see a few consecutive shows on that 40th Anniversary Tour. Those were the days...

  83. s.... b....

  84. J.... ....

    SO good!  The sax solo is a fantastic addition to this song.  Love it!!
