There was time for the laughter and time for the rain
Time for the people who don't know my name
Time for everything, I know it's true
And I know that I should have had more time for you
So, lock all the windows, close all the doors
And don't let me go out runnin' no more
Lock all the windows, close all the doors
And don't let me go out runnin' no more
But there so many places that I've never been
So many faces a-callin' me friend
L. A. is pretty and New York is cold
And Chicago is just an old story I've told
So, lock all the windows, close all the doors
And don't let me go out runnin' no more
Lock all the windows, close all the doors
And don't let me go out runnin' no more
But the hands of the clock keep on goin' around
And the calendar pages keep fallin' on down
Come follow me, then, wherever I go
And when we'll get home here, I really don't know
We'll lock all the windows, close all the doors
And we'll go out runnin' just like before
We'll lock all the windows, close all the doors
And we'll go out runnin' just like before
