Straight Outta Time Lyrics - My Kind Of Town: The Lost 1993 Chicago Broadcast - John Hiatt

Hot summer night, I was counting all the starlight on your skin 

Airtight, as I watched you breathing out, I'm breathing in 

By the lake, so humid that the moon was getting wet 

For our sake the crickets started playing their castonets 

Like a gypsy, you stole me from a child into a man 

It never hit me: I've been running ever since I took a stand 

FAnd this love like Spanish moss hangin from the trees 

Just swaying in the breeze like a sweet memory 

Running straight outta time, straight outta time (x2) Since you were mine

That autumn chI'll sent a shiver, girl, it shook us to the bone 

And we stI'll had February frozen on the phone 

Spring thaw, would it find us with our lips frozen blue? 

Love calls, but do we really live the time we're running through? 

Or like a dream, do we let it die and drift away to sleep 

Until it screams like an echo in the history books you keep 

'Cause that stream running from the corners of my mind 

Looking back I find like a river it unwinds 

Running straight outta time, straight outta time (x2) 

Running straight outta time just like an old man's fiddle 

Looking for the dance; gonna meet me in the middle 

I'm never gonna figure out the way that I feel - 

Running straight outta time, 

but my love's stI'll real

Now I see you- you're looking pretty in your summer dress 

I can almost feel you as you clutch your little locket to your breast 

Looking down at the picture, girl, you know you're looking fine 

Is it me? Was I ever in your heart or on your mind? 

Cause I'm running outta time 

I'm running straight outta time 

Were you ever mine?
