Well sandy blonde Sarah Joe loved Clark Gable
Loved to listen to her records on an old turntable
Said she was born in the wrong time
She'd say that Marilyn Monroe, man, she was sure something
Bigger than life, no they never saw her coming
And if I could go back, I bet you I'd shine like that
But those days are gone and maybe I just came along
At the wrong time
Casey was a rodeo cowboy man
He said boys you know I should have been living back then
When the west was wild, and then he'd crack a smile
He said I'd leave them in the dust if they didn't back down
They'd be knowing my name in every little town
And all the girls would say he'll come back someday
I'd be up and gone if i hadn't come along
At the wrong time
If I could turn the hands, I'd go back
To before the world turned so fast
Back to where the grass was greener
Life and love and times were sweeter
Can't help but think the skin I'm in is not my own
And maybe I just came along at the wrong time
Me I'm just another guitar slinger
In a mile-long line of sad song singers
Waiting for the day they call my name
Waiting for my sound to come back around
I'm just praying on a song that I didn't come along at the wrong time
If I could turn the hands, I'd go back
To before the world turned so fast
Back to where the grass was greener
Life and love and times were sweeter
Can't help but think the skin I'm in is not my own
And maybe I just came along at the wrong time
And maybe I just came along at the wrong time
