Sometime Other Than Now - John Hiatt

Maybe your mama didn’t treat you right

Maybe her intentions weren’t even very good

Maybe my daddy he laid awake at night

Imaginin' himself in some other neighborhood

Left to our own devices

Like maybe they were too

Out on the open road

And wonderin' what to do

You ask how we got here baby don’t ask how

'Cause that was sometime other than now

Takes what it takes, that’s what they told us girl

Done a lot of dumb things, probably do some more

On two different paths, runnin' 'round in different worlds

We finally found each other, who we were lookin' for

I see my own reflection

When I give my love to you

And it’s shot back like an arrow

So straight and true

An' I’m not leavin' babe

Whatever’s comin' right here and now

Maybe tomorrow we can’t take

I’m not grievin' babe anymore

The past is gone

An' we can’t fake it, baby let’s make it

With this love of ours somehow

A little bit of fear, you know it goes a long way

It’s followed us around since we were little kids

With just a little faith, well maybe baby someday

We will have the strength, the strength to forgive

Don’t come all of a sudden

But when it’s here at last

You blink your eyes and miss it

It happen so fast

Yeah, that was sometime other than now
