DEAD ON TIME.
KEY: F#
F#
HE'D DONE THIS RUN FOR A LONG TIME NOW
AND HE DON'T KNOW WHY AND HE DON'T KNOW HOW
C#7
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
F#
WOULD ALL LOOK OUT FOR THE DUST OF DEAD ON TIME.
C#7 B F#
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
C#7
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
F#
I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN WHEN I COME NEXT TIME AROUND.
C#7 B F#
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
C#7
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
A
DIDN'T LOOK TO GOOD AT ALL FOR DEAD ON TIME.
C#7 B F#
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
C#7
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
B F#
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
C#7
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
B F#
STILL LOOK OUT FOR THE DUST OF DEAD ON TIME.
C#7 F#
YEAH! STILL LOOK OUT FOR THE DUST OF DEAD ON TIME.
