In My Time

©1979 Bob Zentz, BMI

        Seems I had a lot more time to write songs about time once upon a time ... (BZ)

Well, in my time, I might have been a farmer
You know I might have been a farmer in my time
But the only thing I’d have grown was hungry and alone
Though I might have been a farmer in my time

    In my time, in my time
    Well, I might have been a farmer (student, lover, doctor) in my time
    Well, I might have been a lot of things, but at least I took the time to sing
    A song about a farmer (student, lover, doctor) in my time

Well, in my time, I might have been a student
You know I might have been a student in my time
But the lesson that I learned was a life of songs I earned
Though I might have been a student in my time

Well, in my time, I might have been a lover
You know I might have been a lover in my time
But the only loves I’d find were the ones that touched my mind
Though I might have been a lover in my time

Well, in my time, I might have been a doctor
Oh, mamma, I might have been a doctor in my time
But the only medicine was a song sung to a friend
Though I might have been a doctor in my time

Well, in my time, I might have been a singer
You know I must have been a singer in my time
But I’ve done the best I can, and I sing, therefore I am
I’m proud to be a singer in my time

    In my time, in my time
    Well, I’m proud to be a singer in my time
    Well, I might have been a lot of things, but at least I took the time to sing
    Well, I might have been a lot of things, but at least I took the time to sing

In My Time is recorded the CD Gordon Bok and Bob Zentz - Together Again for the First Time and on the Bob Zentz CD Beaucatcher Farewell
Chords for this song can be found in the Bob Zentz Songbook.
