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 i sang all the way to the border and guess who starred in every rhyme ah you know and i know that love never runs on time 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 the waitress poured me another i guess she was the mind reading kind well you know and i know that love never runs on time  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 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 i d never heard a love song yet but i could call yours and mine but you know and i know that love never runs on time i d never heard a love song yet but i could call yours and mine cause you know and i know that love never runs on time
