Lyrics

Born at the Right Time
@ 2007 BMI
Terry Eilers-Kincaid and Mariam

I was born at the right time
The war was cold and love was hot
I took my lessons from restless young girls
And battles that should have never been fought
I learned to love the taste of whiskey
And the good nights ended with the dawn
Yea, I was born at the right time
And, I?m wondering where that time has gone

She?ll always play in my memory
That stranger I left behind
And, we both faced the morning
But, the mistake was only mine
Song dogs sing the day coming
And, fight off the rising sun
I know I was born at the right time
We were the lucky ones

Chorus

Born at the right time
Lightning striking the land
Born at the right time
Between the sea and the sand
Born at the right time
No excuse for our sins
Born at the right time
Our backs to the wind

There?s another long day comin?
I hope it?s one we can survive
The fabric will be changing
On the earth and in the sky
And I don?t care much if I see it
The way it looks close at hand
Yea, I was born at the right time
In a world I could understand
