Lyrics:

My heart is never on time
Always a little behind
Oh when it's about to break
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, nor like the woman from Ipanema
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
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 late then with his second son
It was dead of winter
And I was bitter
From the bickering of your preacher
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
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
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, oh when it's about
When it's about, when it's about to break
I call upon, Mr Jack Daniel
