Picked up a buffalo nickel

outside Hampton's grocery and video store.

and noticed that buffalo had three legs,    steada  four.

somebody might of lost five cents but you just found five-hundred bucks

[Chorus]
G             D
Sometimes it's just your time
     Am                       C
there aint no reason and there aint no rhyme
G                 D               Am                      C

[Verse 2]
G                                   D
Five-hundred dollars wouldn't buy me a car
      Am                           C
so I sold that nickel and I bought a guitar
G                D        Am     C
Taught myself to play
G                 D        Am                     C
Hitched a ride to Tennesse just that old gold top gibson and me
G                        D    Am    C
and I learned how to wait.
G
She found me in a Nashville bar
D
tryin' to make a living, wasn't gettin' to far
C                                        D (start strum)
The sky opened up when she walked in and walked back out with my heart.

[Chorus 2]
G            D
Sometimes its just your time
     Am                       C
there aint no reason and there aint no rhyme
G                 D               Am                      C
Otta the blue the stars align everybodys gotta have there turn to shine.
G                 D
Catch your break, accept your fate
Am                     C       C
Every dogs gotta have his day.
C   G  Am  C   C    G
Sometimes its just your time.

[Bridge]
G
I don't worry about when. I won't start now,
D
when your number comes up and your light goes out
C
I'm still here so I must be blessed
   D
And I'm gonna keep rockin' till the good Lord says

[End Chorus]

Sometimes its just your time
     Am                       C
there aint no reason and there aint no rhyme
