Right On Time

Waiting for fall on this dead end street

Cleveland Ave., always covered in leaves

A simple life for her, seemingly

Daddy and his fiddle worked the nights, most times

Mommy had a tongue that spoke the best of lines

She loved them purely, endlessly

But something pulled on her

To move like lightning

She's a left-hand beauty with big blue eyes

Crooked smile, half a beat off time

She never planned her path in life

But she was right on time

She wore an A-line dress with a hiked up skirt

Always kissed her daddy on the way to work

She was ready for the big world in front of her

She was right on time

She drove a hundred miles to Baltimore

In a busted Caddy with holes in the floor

And dancing feet always called her name

Truck stop baby, won't you dance for me

These eighteen wheelers ain't nothin' to see

She wants those bright lights, big city streets

So she packed her suitcase

Next stop, New York City

She's a left-hand beauty with big blue eyes

Crooked smile, half a beat off time

She never planned her path in life

But she was right on time

She wore an A-line dress with a hiked up skirt

Missed kissing her daddy on the way to work

She was ready for the big world in front of her

She was right on time

And the world fell in love, took her in embrace

And she never looked back, all love, all grace

And she's a shooting star, never stays in one place

She was right on time

Oh, she was right on time, right on time

Ooh, right on time

Right on time

Oh-oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Right on time

Ooh, right on time

Right on time

Right on time
