Right On Time - Song A Week 2010 - 32

Another skirmish song. This is where a title is posted and then an hour is given to write and record a song. I actually finished this one in about 38 minutes or so. It needs polish, but I'm pretty happy with it.
Oh, and the melody of the hook line is the same as a popular Green Day song... might have to change that. (Thanks to Morti for pointing that out.)






She was only a minute away
From saying, ‘ I do.’
When I walked into that church-house yard
I got up the courage
To tell her, ‘I love you’
Turned out not to be that hard

Let me tell you baby
You should be all mine
And I’m glad I got here right on time

She was only seconds away
From becoming Mrs. Black
When I stormed through the church-house door
When I said those words
To try and win her back
Her mother fainted right on the floor

Let me tell you baby
You should be all mine
And I’m glad I got here right on time

As she turned to look at me
Imagine my surprise
She wasn’t the girl of my dreams
Apparently those directions
Were blurred by tear-stained eyes
I missed my chance or so it seems

You just aint my baby
And now she can’t be mine
I’m in the wrong place right on time

You just ain’t my baby
And now she can’t be mine
I’m in the wrong place right on time
