No Time (The Guess Who song)
"No Time" is a song by Canadian rock band The Guess Who. Composed by guitarist Randy Bachman and lead singer Burton Cummings. There are two versions of the song. The original recording was done for The Guess Who's album "Canned Wheat". But it is the re-recording (as featured on the "American Woman" album) that was released as a single in 1969 and is the better-known version. This one is slightly faster in tempo and has the two verses transposed, but the extended Bachman guitar solo was cut. The single peaked at  No. 5 in the U.S. and was the third in a string of million-selling singles that all hit No. 1 in Canada for The Guess Who. It also made the Top 20 in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Background. The song is basically a reverse Dear John letter stating, "No time left for you". Of the song, Randy Bachman said, “That was our country-rock song... Me and Burton trying to be like Neil and Stephen Stills."
