"Killin' Time" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Clint Black. It was released in July 1989 as the second single and title track from his debut album. The song was his second number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart and the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart. It was written by Black and Hayden Nicholas. When Billboard published its year-end Hot Country Singles chart for 1989, "Killin' Time" was the No. 2 song of the year — one spot behind Black's "A Better Man." The successes of "A Better Man" and "Killin' Time" were instrumental in Black winning the Country Music Association's Horizon Award in 1989.

This was his second music video and was directed by Bill Young, and premiered in July 1989. A young Tim McGraw makes a cameo appearance in the music video playing a game of pool. It features Black singing the song at a bar. He was wearing a t-shirt that has Don't Mess with Texas written on it, and features him in another bar singing the song wearing a striped shirt. He puts the guitar down, and the video ends.
