Torch Song

My heart is never on time

Always a little behind

Oh, when it's about to break

Hey, I close my eyes and count to ten

She said, "Son, hold on

You will find somebody to love

If you pray hard to your God

He will lay her on a golden pod

She won't be a sinner like Angelina

Not like the woman from Ipanema

Oh, this time"

Don't hold a torch to the sun

My heart is never on time

Always a little behind

Oh, when it's about to break

Hey, I close my eyes and count to ten

She said, "Love, it's not your fault"

That I found me somebody to love

You waited too long to show me that song

I was laid there with his second son

It was dead of winter and I was bitter

From the bickering of your preacher

Oh, this time

Don't hold a torch to the sun

My heart is never on time

Always a little behind

Oh, when it's about to break

Hey, I close my eyes and count to ten

My heart is never on time

Always a little behind

Oh, when it's about to break

Hey, I close my eyes and count to ten

When it's about, when it's about to break

I call upon the angel Gabriel

When it's about, when it's about to break

Suddenly I'm a child of Israel

When it's about, when it's about

When it's about, when it's about

When it's about, when it's about to break

I call upon Mr. Jack Daniel
