Week before, they all seemed the same.
With the help of God and true friends, I come to realize
I still had two strong legs, and even wings to fly.
And oh I, ain't wastin time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things.
Lord, lord Miss Sally, why all your cryin'?
Been around here three long days, you're lookin' like you're dyin'.
Just step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above
Go on downtown baby, find somebody to love.
Meanwhile I ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like pouring rain, and much faster things.
You don't need no gypsy to tell you why
You can't let one precious day slip by.
Look inside yourself, and if you don't see what you want,
Maybe sometimes then you don't,
But leave your mind alone and just get high.
Well by and by, way after many years have gone,
And all the war freaks die off, leavin' us alone.
We'll raise our children in the peaceful way we can,
It's up to you and me brother
To try and try again.
Well, hear us now, we ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes
Runnin' after subway trains
Don't forget the pouring rain.

Six days ago I had my own.hurricane hitting hard. Still rain in the heart. I'm very much in tune with this greaat song "Ain't Wasting Time No More"
From Wiki:
"Ain't Wastin' Time No More" is a song by the American rock band the Allman Brothers Band. It was the lead single from their third studio album, Eat a Peach (1972), released on Capricorn Records. The song, written by Gregg Allman, largely concerns the death of his brother, Duane Allman, who was killed in a motorcycle crash in 1971.
The song peaked at number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972.
Following the death of group leader and guitarist Duane Allman, the Allman Brothers Band returned to the studio to complete Eat a Peach, which was midway through production at the time of his passing. Much of the song's lyrical content deals with his death; Gregg Allman felt the subject "was the only thing I knew how to do right then." Allman had completed most of the song's music before his brother's death, but felt compelled to record it when bassist Berry Oakley and drummer Jaimoe asked about it. He proceeded to write the song's lyrics, which also concerns soldiers returning home from the Vietnam War, on a Steinway piano at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida, where it was recorded in December 1971. Guitarist Dickey Betts picked up slide guitar in the aftermath of the tragedy, and took time to make sure his performance on the song would be up to par. Allman later recalled that he remembered Betts practicing the slide part for the song on the airplane down to Miami.
Duane Allman is without peer on slide guitar.
I'm pretty sure it's Dickey Betts playing slide; I think Duane was already gone when recording was completed on this song.
This album seems like yesterday. Still great!

CHEERS! - from Seattle, mikezippi ~
this could very well be the best post of all time
god damn Dickey was good
It's still great to hear it all these years later.
Absolutely. Popular in my campus dormitory in the 73-74 school year as I recall.
Ah, the Zoo. Fond memories. Management blacklisted me. No worries. I went to South America instead.

For the record, just because you hang with the 'dealers', if for no other reason than they had the very best dorm sound systems, does not mean that you are a 'dealer' also.
Can you fault a guy for appreciating great sound systems?
It's still great to hear it all these years later.
