Getting Nowhere Fast Lyrics - In Tennessee - Alvin Lee

You're getting nowhere fast 

Why can't you let it be 

You got to make it last my friend 

How can I make you see 

You got to take your time 

You got to play your part 

You're getting nowhere fast my friend 

It's over before you start 

Taking care of business, ain't no kind of plan 

Sometimes you got to do it if you want to be a man 

Crawling home at midnight, ain't no way to be 

First thing to himself a man must prove that he is free 

You're getting nowhere fast 

You got to take your time 

Not everything's a blast my friend 

You got to feed the line 

You're getting nowhere fast 

Why can't you let it be 

You got to make it last my friend 

How can I make you see 

Taking care of business 

Ain't no kind of plan 

Sometimes you got to do it 

If you want to be a man 

Crawling home at midnight, 

Ain't no way to be 

First thing to himself a man 

Must prove that he is free 

Prove that he is free, prove that he is free
