[Verse 1]
I was born at the break of dawning
In the last days of the last Great War
My father was not in the fighting
And my mother never had to mourn

[Verse 2]
I was raised, raised and taught to hurry
Oh, I've been hurrying, worrying all my days
But now as I'm getting older
Think I'm learning, yeah, how to run the race

[Chorus]
And with you at my side, yeah
Your heart close to mine
I've got time

[Verse 3]
I used to wake up every morning
And lie there, oh far too long
I had no reason for living
Everything, everything I did was wrong

[Chorus]
Oh but you
And your faith in me
Oh how you made my whole life shine
And I've got time, yeah
Oh

[Chorus]
You, you and your faith in me
Little girl, you made my whole life shine
And I've got
Time

[Outro]
Time
Oh
Oh, I've got time
Yeah, I've got time

As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
