Five Minutes More Lyrics - Th Complete Epic Recordings (2 Cd) - Rick Nelson

There's a man in a suit at my front door 

And he's got some paper in his hand 

Says I got to come down to the station 

And he hopes I'll take it like a man 

'Cause they caught me takin' what wasn't mine 

And it looks like I'll be doin' time 

(Doin' time) 

Give me five minutes more 

To tell my baby goodbye 

Well, they stood me up in front of a jury 

And they told me what it was I'd done 

And the judge said we're findin' you guilty 

I said, "Judge, I'm not the guilty one" 

There wasn't anythin' left I could say 

'Cause they sentenced me to ninety days 

(Ninety days) 

Give me five minutes more 

To tell my baby goodbye 

Baby, I got somethin' to say 

You know they're gonna put me away 

It'll only be a matter of days 

Then I'm comin' back to you 

Comin' back to you, comin' back to you 

Well, they're gonna put some walls around me 

And there's nothin' anyone can do 

I'm gonna do my time in the county 

And I hope that time is all that I lose 

Maybe this won't be so bad 

Woman, don't you look so sad 

(Look so sad) 

Give me five minutes more 

To tell my baby goodbye 

Give me five minutes more 

To tell my baby goodbye 

Give me five minutes more 

To tell my baby goodbye 

Give me five minutes more 

To tell my baby goodbye 

Give me five minutes more 

To tell my baby goodbye 

Give me five minutes more 

To tell my baby goodbye
