Story Behind The Song
She thinks she's being stood up, but he comes to her house to pick her up. They spend a night out on the town and fantasize about traveling the world together. They realize that it doesn't matter where you are, where you're going or how much time you have because there's "always time for love".

Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
You were 'sposed to pick me up at eight to take me on a date
I'm sittin' on the front porch listening to the cars go by... you're late
I hear a sound, I look up and there you are in your pickup truck
You step out, walk up to me and say, "You wanna go for a ride, lady?"
[CHORUS]
Let's go to Mexico, let's fly to paradise
We'll pack our bags and disappear for days, and take a trip to Lover's Lane
You say we can't leave at the drop of a dime, nonsense I do it all the time
There's a time and place for everything, and there's always time for love
[VERSE 2]
We drove around this small town and stopped at the Tasty-Freeze
If we don't get back by sundown they'll be out lookin' for you and me
They can try to track us down, we have a hide-out three towns away
We'll vanish without a sound, the question is how long we'll stay
[CHORUS]
Let's go to Mexico, let's fly to paradise
We'll pack our bags and disappear for days, and take a trip to Lover's Lane
You say we can't leave at the drop of a dime, nonsense I do it all the time
There's a time and place for everything, and there's always time for love
[BRIDGE]
Let's turn back the clock and lose all track of time
Time, time, time... yeah
[OUTRO]
Let's go, to Mexico, let's fly to paradise
We'll pack our bags and disappear for days, and take a trip to Lover's Lane
You say we can't leave at the drop of a dime, nonsense I do it all the time
There's a time and place for everything, and there's always time for love
For love... there's a time and a place for everything
And there's always time for love
