We painted inside and out   With just a gallon of joy   We had the girl and the boy   And love was never a toy      Just like that old rusty Ford   We restored out in back   It made that clickety-clack   Our new old house by the track      At her window was   A touch of lavender lace   I remember her face   Too many rainbows to chase      Right through the cracks of the paint   Come the tracks of the train   Scatter like diamonds of rain   Down our old blacktop two lane      Hold back time   Don't talk about tomorrow   Tell that old clock on the wall   He'll just have to call it a day      Hold back time   When we're in each other's arms   We're in each other's arms   So hold back time      With that old country hymn   Spinnin' round in her brain   She kept her fancy for play   More than for fortune and fame      Now when we feel every wheel   Spinnin' steel on that track   We shake the dust off the sack   In our old house by the track      Hold back time   Don't talk about tomorrow   Tell that old clock on the wall   He'll just have to call it a day      Hold back time   When we're in each other's arms   We're in each other's arms   So hold back time, time
