Sometime Other Than Now Lyrics - John Hiatt

Maybe your mama didn't treat you right, 

Maybe her intentions weren't even very good 

Maybe my daddy lay awake at night 

Imagining himself in some other neighborhood 

Left to our own devices 

Like maybe they were too 

Out on the open road 

And wonderin' what to do 

CHORUS: 

You ask how we got here baby don't ask how 

That was sometime other than now

It takes what it takes, that's what they told us girl 

We've done a lot of dumb things, we'll probably do some more 

On two different paths, runnin' 'round in different worlds 

We finally found each other, who we were lookin' for 

Now I see my own reflection 

When I give my love to you 

And it's shot back like an arrow 

So straight and true 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE: 

I'm not leavin' baby 

The future's comin' right here and now 

And maybe tomorrow we can't take it 

I'm not grievin' baby anymore 

The past is gone 

And we can't fake it, so baby let's make it 

With this love of ours somehow 

Photos 

A little bit of fear, you know it goes a long way 

It's followed us around since we were little kids 

With just a little faith, well maybe baby someday 

We will find the strength, the strength to forgive 

It don't come all of a sudden 

But when it comes at last 

You could blink your eyes and miss it 

It happens so fast 

CHORUS
