Lyr Req: Time's a-Wastin' (Boudleaux Bryant)

From: GUEST,Jiggers

Hi,

I just watched a movie called Walk the Line and there is a song in it that I can't find the name of - it doesn't appear to be on the Soundtrack CD for the film.

There is a song that is a duet between Johnny and June. June says she thinks it is an inappropriate song because she wrote it with her ex-partner but Johnny insists and she sings it.

I don't have any of the lyrics. It sounded like quite an upbeat, fun love song.

Sorry for the vaguenss. Any ideas ?

Regards

Jiggers

The song was recorded by Carl Smith and June Carter and if it's available these days is probably on a Carl Smith CD. Bear Family currently has all of Smith's recordings available, but it's all issued in one set and it's pretty expensive.

The soundtrack listing for "Walk the Line" at The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) says Boudleaux Bryant wrote TIME'S A-WASTIN'—and so does Allmusic.com.

Seems like a very unavailable song. Isn't it recorded anywhere convenient !!??

The problem is that I have no idea how the following bit goes

"F: A cake's no good if you don't mix the batter and bake it
M: And love's just a bubble if you don't take the trouble to make it
"

Do they reach this bit in the film ? If so I can rent the DVD again ....
