[Intro] [walking electric bass alone] [drums enter after bass phrase] [Verse 1] [bass and drums, restrained vocal] I woke up late this morning with yesterday still on my mind, there was sunlight through the curtains and a little more time. I’ve made peace with some old trouble, left some answers undefined, I don’t need to know where I’m going, just give me a little more time. [Turnaround] [walking bass rises and falls] [short drum fill] [Verse 2] [crunchy rhythm guitar enters] [Hammond swells between vocal lines] I’ve been wrong enough to know now being right ain’t worth the fight, there are things you learn by losing that you never learn by being right. I’ve seen good men chase tomorrow, seen them leave today behind, I’m not asking for forever, just give me a little more time. [Chorus] [full groove] [Hammond opens wide, guitar answers vocal] A little more time, a little more road, a little more fire before I let it go. A little more love, a little more wine, I’m not asking for forever, just a little more time. [Instrumental Turnaround] [walking bass carries the groove] [Hammond answers with bluesy fills] [guitar enters with short melodic phrases] [Verse 3] [groove pulls back slightly] There are names I still remember, there are faces fading slow, some were meant to walk beside me, some were only meant to go. Every scar became a story, every loss became a line, I would never trade the journey for another man’s design. [Bridge] [Hammond enters softly] [low violin sustains a warm harmony behind the vocal] If tomorrow comes to find me, tell it I was doing fine. [Hammond enters softly] Tell it I was busy living... [walking bass turnaround] ...and I needed more time. [Instrumental Break] [Hammond and electric guitar trade phrases] [bass remains prominent] [drums gradually build] [Final Chorus] [full southern rock groove] A little more time, a little more road, a little more fire before I let it go. A little more love, a little more wine, I’m not asking for forever, just a little more time. [Final Turnaround] [walking bass] [guitar answers] [fiddle adds a slow bluesy counterline] [Hammond holds a warm chord] Just a little more time... [Outro] [walking bass continues softly] [guitar and Hammond trade one last phrase] [slow natural resolution]
