RIGHT ON TIME

IT’S NOT MY NATURE TO BE PATIENT
CAUSE I JUMP EVERY RIVER I CROSS
NOT ONE FOR FOLLOWING SENSIBLE SIGNS
I CAN’T COUNT THE TIMES I’VE BEEN LOST

WELL YOU CAN’T SEE WHERE YOU’RE GOING
IN THE POURING RAIN
WHEN YOU’RE RUNNING INTO WALLS
FEELING NO PAIN
WE ALL OWE DUES TO THE DEVIL
AND I’VE PAID MINE
IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET HERE
BUT I’M RIGHT ON TIME.

I DON’T REGRET ONE SINGLE MOMENT
IT’S BEEN ONE HECK OF A RIDE
I COUNT MYSELF AMONG THE FORTUNATE ONES
THAT MADE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE

WELL YOU GO WHAT YOU GO THRU TO GET WHERE YOU ARE
LUCKY FOR ME I DIDN’T GO TOO FAR
I TURNED AROUND BEFORE THE END OF THE LINE
IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET HERE
BUT I’M RIGHT ON TIME.

YOU CAN’T SEE WHERE YOU’RE GOING IN THE POURING RAIN
WHEN YOU’RE RUNNING INTO WALL
FEELING NO PAIN
WE ALL OWE DUES TO THE DEVIL
AND I’VE SURE PAID MINE
IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET HERE
BUT I’M RIGHT ON TIME
