Walsh, Joe - Time Out Lyrics






Goin' through the motions
Tryin' not to snore
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Goin' through my motion

Caught without an oar
Someone said they all were phony

Time out, save the play
Try to make the lie last
Any old way we can
Signed out all the way
When you speak your mind out
Never say what you plan

I met her in the hallway
Bangin' on the door
Askin' what the funny smell was
Wake you up and tell you
It's OK to sleep some more
By the way, is there any you can sell us?

Time out, save the play
Trying to make the lie last
Any old way we can
Signed out all the way
When you speak your mind out
Never say what you plan

So the case is gettin' hotter
Hear me tell you, Jack
Stick 'em up, you've just been busted
Your basement's full of water
Got above the tide
Hope to God the pump ain't rusted

Time out, save the play
Trying to make the lie last
Any old way we can
Signed out all the way
When you speak your mind out
Never say what you plan

  16. W.... T....

    favorite lyrics- 1:25-1:40, thanks Joe, so glad its finally becoming legal across this country

  17. r.... ....

    This album is in my list of the best of all time.

  18. E.... D....

    Won't you step into the freezer...

  19. F.... B....

    Kinetic playground 1973 !

  20. T.... W....

    This album sent Joe "Packing" to the Eagles (They also assisted on this masterpiece!)!!!

  21. E.... W....

    Joe Walsh has the best tones in the Business

  22. G.... L....

    Joe, the composer and guitarist, was probably at his best when he was high. As a listener, I enjoy it either way.

  23. d.... ....

    Why this one-of-a-kind uber talent ever so much as thought, all the more went down the toilet by hooking up with the Eagles I still shake my head...............

  24. e.... ....

    This was the year Joe lost his little girl EMMA.....check out the song.....SONG FOR EMMA.....very sad. Rip Emma.

  25. W.... C....

    what. can I say, how ya doin Joe! 12-25-2017!!!

  26. L.... C....

    Joe walsh take you to a secret place lol

  27. M.... P....

    "You Can't Argue With A Sick Mind" is one of the best live albums ever recorded. Joe Walsh is a genius. He's been described as a Hick guitarist but that's what makes him so good.

  28. B.... B....

    no one can do slow groove rock like Joe Walsh, and transport you another time

  29. T.... M....

    Joe makes my brain feel good...

  30. D.... T....

    The tone.....the tone

  31. M.... ....

    hair blowin to the left,,scarf blowin to the right. he's a fuckin whirlwind and there's NO replacement. let's enjoy a cup'a Joe.

  32. T.... B....

    Glad this one isn't blocked from upload. Always enjoyed this one. Thanks for putting it here. Joe Walsh always had so many great songs that never made the radio. One of the masters during the age of album oriented radio when the entire album had to be good and his were.

  33. E.... G....

  34. F.... ....

    Got to say GREAT production value. Sound quality is awesome. Thanks

  35. m.... G....

    Seen him Oakland coliseum 197;somethingExcellent show the coliseum was one big speaker and songs sounded just like ty album great musician!!!

  36. d.... p....

    this whole album is great.joe always kicked ass!now he's Best friends with paul McCartney,,,,,,,paul Freakin McCartney,,,,,Wow!  not too bad for a kid from Cleveland!

    d.... p....

    I'm not surprised, I read somewhere that he's married to Ringo's sister!

    d.... p....

    He actually grew up in NYC. He went to college in Ohio.

    d.... p....

    He's married to Ringo's sister-in-law actually.

    d.... p....

    Joe has his own accolades to stand on...he doesn't need to stand on McCartney's shoulders.

    d.... p....

    @Paul Bennethum Kent State

  37. D.... J....

    This one brings back so many good memories, you got my vote.

  38. s.... ....

    One of my favorite ways to try out big speakers!!!!

    s.... ....

    I use "Falling Down" off this LP to demo audiophile gear. Outstanding Joe.

  39. j.... b....

    His songwriting and guitar playing are criminally underrated.

    j.... b....

    Yeah Joe fucking Walsh for president!!

    j.... b....

    I wouldn't say criminally....He was in the Eagles after all....He got a lot a due there.

    j.... b....

    FYI.... in the mid 70's, Jimmy Page was asked who his fave Rock guitarist was at that time.
    JW got the honor.

    j.... b....

    i loveeeeeee "bottom ofthe well" where she styretches out the geetar booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo etc

    j.... b....

    "naked as the day that u were born (chang) naked as the day that u were (boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....)

  40. S.... S....

    Out of all the big names I have seen ,Joe Walsh was the best!!Took my son ,He was blown away.Eagles were lucky to have Joe,He made the band.

  41. m.... ....

    by the way is there any you could sell us

  42. t.... b....

    Joe Walsh is American rock n roll at its finest.

  43. C.... R....

  49. j.... ....

    I am having +++ trouble finding a copy of the Midnight Moodies from The Smoker You Drink... It was one of my all time favourites.  Do you have it?

  50. M.... M....

    Gotta be the best Joe Walsh Album.....ever....

    M.... M....

    +Michael McCormick yeah...this is probably my fave too.

  51. M.... D....

    Actually Knuckles, tablature is a way to understand the neck of a guitar and the notes on it.....which is music, yes...but just claifying....:)

  52. G.... ....

    My favorite Joe Walsh song.

  53. A.... ....

    His slide work is incredible.  It just sounds amazing.

  54. C.... C....

    Joe Walsh is the man. Everything is based of his unreal understanding of guitar licks. I think Jack White is the only writer with mad guitar skills in the current generation and most people don't even know who he is.

    C.... C....

    What? First of all, there are plenty of brilliant guitarists making music in the current generation. Second of all, who DOESN'T know Jack White / The White Stripes? They aren't exactly an underground bar band, and haven't been for about a decade now. However, I do agree that Joe Walsh is the man :)

    C.... C....

    @Iconoclastic Jack and the Stripes??????????? didn't they tour with Ricky and the Balloons a few years ago???????   OY VEY...........................WTF???

  55. 1.... ....

    The maids are in the hallway banging  on the door, asking  what the funny smell was,wake you up and tell you it's ok to sleep some more by the way is there any you could sell us ....

  56. T.... ....

    No dislikes, because no half witted douchebags know about this song. Let's keep it that way.

    T.... ....

    Fuckin yikes

    T.... ....

    Indeed sir!

    T.... ....

    yea spot on no top 40 song here and i love it!!!!

    T.... ....

    the kind that gets overplayed on pop radio

    T.... ....

    Amen!!! That's part of the Joe Walsh Club!

  57. D.... J....

    leave the f word out of it. He is a great when it comes to songs.

  58. d.... ....

    I was two when this song came out (remember hearing it on the AM in an old dodge pickup). Yeah the new stuff is sugar coated with effects but no raw originality or talent.

  59. J.... ....

    This is real music. The stuff I hear my grand kids playing makes me want to puke.

  60. e.... r....

    If I could play guitar, I'd play like Joe Walsh.

  61. D.... N....

    President Walsh

  62. t.... r....

    brilliant mr. walsh

  63. H.... ....

    Damn right

  64. b.... ....

    良質ソロアルバム揃いの、アメリカン・ロック野郎、ジョーー・ウォルシュ~名作"So What"から、ハード・スライド・キャッチャーチューン"タイム・アウト"

  65. a.... ....

    There's cool, 'n then there's Joe MF'n Walsh cool. And lemme tell ya 'pard, not even the great Jimmy Buffet himself is that gd'd cool. Ol' Joe is in an entirely unique class of exactly one. There's him, then there's everybody else. Awesome tune from a EPIC album done by a genius. TY for the upload!

  66. a.... ....

    Joe was very depressed around this time... He'd lost his little girl Emma in a tragic car accident.. This album was a result of him dealing with it.. So What is a masterpiece so we should crank it and embrace life! God Bless You Joe!

    a.... ....

    He s been to hell and back no wonder i wud if i lost my baby daughter this is a fantastic album no wonder he got badly the eagle s don and glen helped him thru it losing a child jesus

  67. m.... ....

    is there any you can sell us ? lol! i've said that a few times.......:)

  68. S.... ....

    jimmy page and joe walsh yes too. ooooh yeah by the way there are no such thing as a an alien

  69. B.... N....

    joe you definitely ARE THE MAN!!!!

  70. D.... F....

    Awesome tune!

  71. b.... ....

    Thank you Chris for uploading all these terrific tunes.

  72. M.... 5....

    @ROBdudda
    Hahahaha... muppet

  73. S.... S....

    @gkent101 My favorite guitarist! Not so good with vocals. ;-)

  74. 8.... ....

    What a great album! Had some great times to this music... whos got a time machine so I can head back to the miss spent days of my youth?

  75. t.... ....

    Hell yea!Crazy memories,the things I used to do,my god the things I used to do.

  76. f.... ....

    Henley, Frey & Meisner did contribute to So What but it was in a vocals & backup vocals capacity on a few songs only. The album may've been the catalyst bringing them together but So What is Pure Joe imo.

  77. D.... W....

    This album is the first Eagles album with Joe Walsh, recorded before Hotel California was done. It was put out under Joe's name because he wrote the songs and sang the lyrics and the Eagles played everything else. The licks and attitude and production here is where the hard rock songs on Hotel California came from.

    D.... W....

    Henley, Souther, Meisner and Frey contributed backing vocals to some songs. None of them are credited with instruments.

    D.... W....

    He didn't write the hard rock songs on Hotel California and Don Felder contributed more to the guitar sound than Joe. The band had transitioned to more rock and less country.

    D.... W....

    I believe Walsh and the Eagles had the same manager...

  78. H.... ....

    @DouglasWatts - roflmao!...I used to get that from people who wanted some o'my stash too! ...great, great days.
    (I'd always do 'em a 'teenth' btw)
    Heehee!!

  79. b.... ....

    this album was full of hits

  80. I.... O....

    Still is... Its funny my dad and I blazed to the same songs..

  81. 7.... ....

    My favorite song on a GREAT album.

  82. D.... W....

    I loved this song when I was 13, well before I understood the million drug references in the lyrics:

    "The maids are in the hallway, banging on the door
    Asking what the funny smell was.
    Wake you up to tell you it's okay to sleep some more.
    By the way, is there any you can sell us?"

  83. 7.... ....

    A great song....I have not heard for a while.

  84. s.... ....

    mr walsh is and always will be my favorite , the man is fugging awesome ! ! his music gives me an eargasm ! ! no a double eargasm ! ! ! !

  85. J.... M....

    nba5150

  87. F.... ....

    One of his best songs!

  88. J.... M....

    does anyone know where I can find tabs for this tune?

    J.... M....

    Not off hand but grab your ax and put the CD in and try figuring it out cuz surprisingly it's not too difficult.(for most of it) It sounds like there's a lot more going on than there really is
