High Time Songtext
von Daniel Tashian

"restless boy, walking contradiction
blowing around like paper in the wind
pretty girl, not much for conversation
quiet type, raised down in indiana
moonlight road, last flight down to memphis
hundred miles in the mississippi night
sometimes she gets the loneliest condition
she sees those landing lights coming into sight

high time i′ll take you home
long time that i'll be gone
gonna rock you in my arms tonight
if the mockingbird don′t sing
gonna find a diamond ring
someday i'll take you for my bride

back in school she was quite successful
those midwest boys making eyes at them
when she turned on the charm it was over
he fell like dominos into her hand


high time i'll take you home
long time that i′ll be gone
gonna rock you in my arms tonight
if the mockingbird don′t sing
gonna find a diamond ring
someday i'll take you for my bride

and the moon lights up the runway down to pittsburg
snow is falling on the freeway
motel shuttle running
and she′s listening to the beach boys
airport line she's lost in contemplation
of how many nights have ended up the same
he walks in but doesn′t make the connection
he's flyin′ out on that detroit leg again

high time i'll take you home
long time that i'll be gone
gonna rock you in my arms tonight
if the mockingbird don′t sing
gonna find a diamond ring
someday i′ll take you for my bride"
