Deadlines and Commitments

That place we all run to

It can come down on you

The expectation can be great

If you should ever tire

Or if you should require

A sudden, simple twist of fate

Don't hide away

There's something to be said for pushin' through

We'd never ride on horses that discourage you

If you should fall upon hard times

If you should lose your way

There is a place

Here in this house

That you can stay

If you should find romance

Go on and take that chance

Before the strategies begin

Deadlines and commitments

Every morning

And in the evening

They can suck you in

Boy, don't I know it

This offer would be standing

All you've got to do is call

Don't be afraid to knock on the door

If you should fall upon hard times

If you should lose your way

There is a place

Here in this house

That you can stay

I'm not talkin' about

Deadlines and commitments

I'm sold out of confusion

There is a place

Here in this house

That you can stay

Catch you, darlin'

I'll be waiting

I am on your side

This offer would be standing

All you've got to do is call

Don't be afraid to knock on the door

If you should fall upon hard times

If you should lose your way

There is a place

Here in this house

That you can stay

I'm not talkin' about

Deadlines and commitments

I'm sold out of confusion

There is a place

Here in this house

That you can stay

I'll catch you, darlin'

I'll be waiting

I am on your side

I'll catch you, darlin'

I'll be waiting

I am on your side
