Just In Time
Chet Atkins; Mark Knopfler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this time we've had to spend
You've been so good to be around
I thank you for that special thrill
Keep me going on until
The next time I'm in town
Though I won't be back here for a while
And I'll remember what went down
I can't tell you how or when
But I'll be seeing you again
The next time I'm in town
Now the faces and the places range
'Cross the bridge of time and change
Once again I'm homeward bound
There's one thing I promise you
And that's another rendez-vous
The next time I'm in town
Now it's been something seeing you again
And in this time we've had to spend
You've been so good to be around
And I thank you for that special thrill
Keep me goin' on until
The next time I'm in town
'Til the next time I'm in town
'Til the next time I'm in town
