Just In Time (To Watch Love Die)
(David Allan Coe And Jimmy Townsend)
Threes a stack of daily papers on her doorstep
And the grass has grown up more than she'd allow
Yes, it seems to me to be a little more like a vacation
Never knew that i'd miss her until now
From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
Guess she saw the flame i tried so hard to hide
Looks like im the one that got caught in the middle
Burnt my finger
I got there just in time to watch love die
Yea, i got there just in time to watch love die
There's a change of address blank inside the mailbox
And the key shed usually leave for me not here
Yes, its plain to see that she no longer wants an explanation
Guess i should have known i would not find her here
From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
I guess she saw the flame i tried so hard to hide
Looks like im the one that got caught in the middle
Burnt my finger
I got there just in time to watch love die
But i got there much to late to say goodbye.
