Runaway Bride

I caught up with my dad today
He had a lot of things to say
But I can't recall a time that he talked more
He spoke of almost fifty years
He told me stories I've been dying to hear
And I let him go on
Even if I heard 'em before

Remember that old car I had
The one I bought that made your grandma mad?
Well I seen it today when I was letting the dogs back in
A young man was behind the wheel
And a girl beside him with looks that could kill
As he drove out of sight
It made me feel young again

[Chorus]
Well time's just a runaway, runaway bride
You can't make it stop
You can sure as hell try
Well, time's gonna take its time
So am I

I came across some photographs
Kept the ones that always made me laugh
And the one of us all
The one I thought I'd lost
I framed that one of you from junior high
These past few days have helped get me by
How you hung in there
When your mom and I could not

[Chorus]

I've been having the strangest dream at night
Everybody there is dressed in black and white
I see your mom and rows of chairs
I lift your veil, I don't see nothing there
But I keep asking for the time

Well I hope I didn't keep you long
But now you know what's been going on
Besides all of that, son
When are you coming home?
The sun sure is sinking low
With that he let me go
We both forget sometimes
We're in two different time zones

[Chorus]
