No time to leave


No one even knows if you could love me or not But I’ve never been afraid Of a long shot

And no one even knows If I could love you back But now’s not the time Or the place to dwell on that

So just quit acting shy, Ms. Fancypants There’s a rumor on the dance floor that it’s time to dance The radio’s playing old rockabilly Oh baby, now ain’t no time to leave

These half-drunk Boston boys Keep on losing their bets They try to keep up with the music But just fall out of step

And all the rest of them here Don’t know which way is up But you and I got it all figured out And we might as well have some fun

So just quit acting shy, Ms. Fancypants There’s a rumor on the dance floor that it’s time to dance The radio’s playing some old rockabilly Oh baby, now ain’t no time to leave my side

It’s cold in your car It’s cold on the backroads under the stars As you sail home Dream as you steer Cause now ain’t no time to leave here

Love’s a pretty thing (don’t put it past you)


Down the road a piece I met someone I knew She said love’s a pretty thing don’t you put it past you

We went walking down by the ridge Where the old folks stay and the shadows move love’s a pretty thing don’t you put it past you

All those nights crawling up the wall So many slips and so many falls from my bed

Some things should end but they don’t Sometimes you want to leave but you know you never won’t Just remember love’s a pretty thing don’t put it past you

I’m gonna meet you there one day God knows that’s what I do And you’ll say love’s a pretty thing don’t put it past you

Wake up when the train stops


Come down the night is getting dark Close your eyes you’ll wake up when the train stops

Well when the time comes Baby you will know it When the coins in the air You’ll have your chance to call it

Well when the car it starts to shake And the glass begins to crack And the bones begin to ache As they bounce along the track

Don’t pay no mind to all that business It’s none of your concern That’s just the sound of someone stealing things That he could never earn

Come down the night is getting dark Close your eyes you’ll wake up when the train stops


Don't worry about the ride

Don't you worry about your watch

Close your eyes you’ll wake up when the train stops
