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 headMaybe some dancing will pick me up
But the best song always ends
Now I'm down and telling myself
Time is a fools best friendDoctor 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 throughFriends 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 againGotta 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 nowDoctor 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 throughTime tell the truth you're the only one I trust
How many weeks until I leave this heartache in the dustDoctor 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
