Timing Is Everything

[Verse 1]

Granddaddy planted corn the week the river ran low

Said boy you don't rush a season

You just learn to read the signs

I was seventeen and certain I knew better than the sky

So I burned every bridge I crossed

And I blamed the other side

[Pre-Chorus]

Then the rain came late in August

And the field came up just fine

Taught me more than any sermon

Taught me patience ain't a lie

[Chorus]

Timing is everything

That's the one thing I believe

Timing is everything

You can beg and you can grieve

But the door won't open early

And it won't stay shut too long

Timing is everything

So I'll wait and sing my song

[Verse 2]

Met a woman in a diner on a Tuesday in July

She was leaving for Montana

I was leaving her behind

Ten years on she found me

Said she wondered where I'd been

We don't always get the answer

But we get the chance again

[Pre-Chorus]

So I don't curse the quiet winters

And I don't chase the easy spring

I just keep my hands on the wheel

And I trust the turning thing

[Chorus]

Timing is everything

That's the one thing I believe

Timing is everything

You can beg and you can grieve

But the door won't open early

And it won't stay shut too long

Timing is everything

So I'll wait and sing my song

[Bridge]

I was born too late for glory

I was born too soon for peace

But I was born right on the minute

That my mama needed me

Yeah I was born right on the minute

That my mama needed me

[Fiddle Solo]

[Chorus]

Timing is everything

That's the one thing I believe

Timing is everything

You can beg and you can grieve

But the door won't open early

And it won't stay shut too long

Timing is everything

So I'll wait and sing my song

[Outro]

Wait and sing my song

Timing is everything
