Nick of Time - Bonnie Raitt

Wrong track, wrong line First train to run on time Bad blood, bad news Long rope, got nothing to lose Mad bull seeing red Coming at me, happy when I'm dead Jump a fence, get away Ain't got a liking for the games he plays What you gonna do? Everybody trying to find you guilty Make you wanna tow the line Saved by, saved in the nick of time I was saved in the nick of time Slow plane, hard rain Cold sweat and I feel the strain Look down, no ground Black sky, just the engine sound Bail out, goodbye Take my chances, I don't wanna die Count ten, just pray The nick of time can save me any day What you gonna do? Everybody love a hero, honey Living on a danger line Saved by, saved in the nick of time I was saved in the nick of time Lose sleep, get grief Some day get no relief Quick punch, closed eye You didn't knew it and you wonder why Lynch mob on your tail Think they were searching for the holy grail Leave town, get away I didn't figure on them anyway No I didn't today Everybody trying to find you guilty Make you wanna tow the line Saved by, saved in the nick of time I was saved in the nick of time

A friend of mine, she cries at night And she calls me on the phone Sees babies everywhere she goes And she wants one of her own She's waited long enough, she says But still he can't decide Pretty soon she'll have to choose And it tears her up inside She is scared Scared to run out of time I see my folks, they're getting on And I watch their bodies change (mm) I know they see the same in me And it makes us both feel strange (mm) No matter how you tell yourself It's what we all go through (mm) Those lines are pretty hard to take When they're staring back at you You are scared Scared to run out of time When did the choices get so hard With so much more at stake? Life gets mighty precious When there's less of it to waste (Mm) hmm, (mm) hmm Scared to run out of time Just when I thought I'd had enough And all my tears were shed (mm) No promise left unbroken There were no painful words unsaid You came along and showed me I could leave it all behind (mm) You opened up my heart again And then much to my surprise I found love, darling Love in the nick of time Oh yeah, I found love Oh yeah, in the nick of time I found love, whoa I found love, oh, in the nick of time I found love, baby Love in the nick of time Ooh, yeah (mm) Thought I'd given up Oh yeah, but then I found love I found love, baby, woo Oh, in the nick of time Oh yeah, I found love Oh, in the nick of time Thought I'd given up

Yeah baby, I've been drinking, And I shouldn't come by I know But I found myself in trouble darling, And I had no place else to go Got some whiskey from a bar man, Got some cocaine from a friend I just had to keep on moving, Till I was back in your arms again ---- Well I'm guilty, yeah I'm guilty, I'll be guilty for the rest of my life How come I never do, What I'm supposed to do Nothing that I try to do ever turns out right ---- Well you know how it is with me baby, You know I just can't stand myself It takes a whole lot of medicine, For me to pretend to be somebody else.

Nobody else could make me happy No one could hurt me like you do You were the only one that mattered Then you were gone, love had moved on Left me alone thinking of You, there was never any other You, and I were created to be true Isn't it love that keeps us breathing Isn't it love we're sent here for Wasn't that love that we were feeling (That was something baby) Deep in our soul, deeper than we know Keeping me holding out for You, there was never any question You'll be forever on my mind You and I, we were meant to be together True hearts in a world where love is dyin' And I might as well have been dyin' when We were apart When you came back I felt the beating of my heart You, there was never any question You'll be forever on my mind You and I, we were meant to be together You, and only you It was you, only you You, always you

As I walk along I wonder what went wrong With our love a love that was so strong And as I still walk on I think of the things We've done together while our hearts were young I'm a walking in the rain to the bone I feel the pain Wishing you were here by me to end this misery And I wonder I w-w-wonder why you ran away And I wonder if you will stay my little runaway my runaway I'm a walking in the rain to the bone I feel the pain Wishing you were here by me to end this misery And I wonder I w-w-wonder baby yeah you know why you ran away And I wonder if you will stay my little runaway my little runaway Come back baby (Run, run, runaway) You left me standing in the rain (Run, run, runaway) Come back baby (Run, run, runaway) Standing in the rain (Run, run, runaway)
