Love Never Runs on Time

[Verse 1]
I pulled out of the suburbs by sunset
Rain was falling, it looked like it would for a while
I had a radio, a six-pack, and some cigarettes
The radio died after the first hundred miles

[Pre-Chorus]
I sang all the way to the border
And guess who starred in every rhyme?

[Chorus]
Ah, you know and I know that love
Never runs on time

[Verse 2]
I followed that old river 'til the morning
I stopped, I don't remember the name of the town
But the colour of the coffee spelled a warning
It was the colour of the river, but not nearly as brown

[Pre-Chorus]
The waitress poured me another
I guess she was the mind-reading kind

[Chorus]
Well, you know and I know that love
Never runs on time

[Bridge]
You're lost in the traffic
I've been asking around, but you haven't been seen
I never thought we were perfect
Oh, but darling, what we could have been

[Verse 3]
The rain came and went all the next day
I pulled over sometime for a sleep on the side
Then I gunned it back out on the highway
I hit a big pot-hole and the radio came alive

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd never heard a love song yet
But I could call yours and mine

[Chorus]
But you know and I know that love
Never runs on time

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd never heard a love song yet
But I could call yours and mine

[Chorus]
'Cause you know and I know that love
Never runs on time
