Time And Trouble

Lyrics: Neal Casal
Music: Neal Casal

Recorded by Bob Weir with Jay Lane and Dave Schools for a tribute album to Neal Casal:

Don't try to kid me
You lied about everything that you did
It's written all over your face
So the best thing to do, get out of this place
As quickly as you can

But once you try to think
You try to get me to see things your way
Well that leaves me in a daze
So the best thing to do is get out of my face
As quickly as you can, 'cause it’s not worth
The time and trouble that I had to spend
I’m burned, I’m blind
And always on edge of something worse than this
You’ll never know what I went through for you
The time and trouble that I had to spend

But what are you trying to prove
Believing is easy now there's nothing to lose
And every single thing that you [wear]
So the best thing to do is drop out of this race
As quickly as you can
As quickly as you can, 'cause it’s not worth
The time and trouble that I had to spend
I’m burned, I’m blind
And always on edge of something worse than this
You’ll never know what I went through for you
The time and trouble that I had to spend

You went to sleep without feeling caught in your
You didn't need a lot of [?] to know
How does it feel to be [?], with no story to tell
And nothing left to sell
It's just lucky for you
You woke up and you [fell]

Where you trying to go
Seven year wait and then you still don't know
But don't taake this to bad
So the best thing to do is get out of this placee
As quickly as you can, 'cause it’s not worth
The time and trouble that I had to spend
I’m burned, I’m blind
And always on edge of something worse than this
You’ll never know what I went through for you
The time and trouble that I had to spend
