Dead On Time

DEAD ON TIME. KEY: HE?D DONE THIS RUN FOR A LONG TIME NOW AND HE DON?T KNOW WHY AND HE DON?T KNOW HOW BUT HE?D NEVER BEEN LATE SO THEY CALLED HIM DEAD ON TIME. HE PAINTED THE NAME ON THE BONNET IN BLACK AND THE STATION KIDS ON THE MAILMAN?S TRACK WOULD ALL LOOK OUT FOR THE DUST OF DEAD ON TIME. WOULD ALL LOOK OUT FOR THE DUST OF DEAD ON TIME. I GOTTA BE BACK FOR THE KIDS BIRTHDAY HE MAILMAN SAID AS HE WAVED HOORAY AND WHELED HIS TRUCK ON THE LONG HAUL HOMEWARD BOUND. THE WIFE?S GONNA MAKE HIM A CHOCOLATE CAKE THEY MADE ME PROMICE THAT I WON?T BE LATE I?LL SEE YOU AGAIN WHEN I COME NEXT TIME AROUND. I?LL SEE YOU AGAIN WHEN I COME NEXT TIME AROUND. BUT DEAD ON TIME RAN OUTTA LUCK AND HE COULD?T BELIEVE WHEN HIS GOOD OLD TRUCK GROUND TO A HAULT WITH A BURNT OUT BEARINGS WHINE NOT A TREE IN SIGHT AND THE WATER BAG LOW NOT A HOPE IN HELL OF GETTING HER TO GO DIDN?T LOOK TO GOOD AT ALL FOR DEAD ON TIME. DIDN?T LOOK TO GOOD AT ALL FOR DEAD ON TIME. A BIRTHDAY PARTY AND A CHOCOLATE CAKE WENT DANCIN ACROSS THE DRY SALT LAKE WHERE THE MIRAGE MET WITH THE DISTANT TIMBER LINE. AND THE SILENT TRUCK THREW A MEAGRE SHADE OVER THE PLEA FOR HELP THAT HE MADE SCRATCHED IN THE DIRT ON THE ROAD BY DEAD ON TIME. HE?D DONE THIS RUN FOR A LONG TIME NOW AND HE DON?T KNOW WHY AND HE DON?T KNOW HOW BUT HE?D NEVER BEEN LATE SO THEY CALLED HIM DEAD ON TIME. HE PAINTED THE NAME ON THE BONNET IN BLACK AND THE STATION KIDS ON THE MAILMAN?S TRACK STILL LOOK OUT FOR THE DUST OF DEAD ON TIME. YEAH! STILL LOOK OUT FOR THE DUST OF DEAD ON TIME.
