Hold Back Time

We painted inside and out with just a gallon of joy
 We had the girl and the boy
 And love was never a toy
 Just like that old rusty ford we restored out in back
 It made that clickety-clack
 Our new old house by the track
 At her window was a touch of lavender lace
 I remember her face
 Too many rainbows to chase
 Right through the cracks of the paint
 Come the tracks of the train
 Scatter like diamonds of rain
 Down our old blacktop two lane
 Hold back time
 Don't talk about tomorrow
 Tell that old clock on the wall
 He'll just have to call it a day
 Hold back time
 When we're in each other's arms
 We're in each other's arms
 So hold back time
 With that old country hymn spinning round in her brain
 She kept her fancy for play
 More than for fortune and fame
 Now when we feel every wheel spinnin' steel on that track
 We shake the dust off the sack
 In our old house by the track
 Hold back time
 Don't talk about tomorrow
 Tell that old clock on the wall
 He'll just have to call it a day
 Hold back time
 When we're in each other's arms
 We're in each other's arms
 So hold back time
 Time
