love will wait
He had one hand on the wheel Of his two door Chevy Cavalier And the other one was runnin' Through the waves of her sandy hair It was well past twelve When they pulled into her parents drive She didn't think anyone was watchin' When she kissed him goodnight, busted Her momma told her She was grounded for a year Her daddy said that boy Ain't welcome around here She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs You can say what you wanna say Lock me up, throw the key away But if this is really fate then love will wait, love will wait Two months later her momma Finally let her off the hook She said, ?I'm headin' uptown To return a few library books? But she climbed in the Cavalier Sittin' at the Amoco station He told her time don't matter Love was worth the waitin', a love sweet, oh yeah Her momma told her She was grounded for a year Her daddy said that boy Ain't welcome around here She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs You can say what you wanna say Lock me up, throw the key away But if this is really fate then love will wait, oh yeah Now there's a little white house On the edge of a country lake And daddy's workin' on that Rusty old Chevy in the driveway The kids are playin' with the dog Throwin' frisbee in the front yard And mama's sittin' on that front porch Swayin', starin' at that car where it all started Her momma told her She was grounded for a year Her daddy said that boy Ain't welcome around here She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs You can say what you wanna say Lock me up, throw the key away But if this is really fate then fate's gonna have it's way, love will wait You can try to step in between Love and destiny but what will be will be Love will wait, oh yeah, love will wait
